Ron Titus Note: Ron is a former board member of the Houston ACLU. His tongue in cheek condemnation of mj refers to the case of the woman who puffed a little mj while pregnant, and then promptly lost custody of both children when her newborn tested positive for it. The children's father lost custody as well. --- Art ONLY ALCOHOL WAS CULPRIT Per the Dec. 23 Chronicle story, "Mom arrested after test finds tot intoxicated," a 16-month-old boy, a half-clothed and unconscious 33-year-old mother and three other children -- aged 12, 13 and 15 -- were all intoxicated. Thank goodness the culprit was alcohol and not marijuana! J. Ron Titus, Houston - --- MAP posted-by: Eric Ernst
