HARMLESS HEMP

I was thrilled to read about the Dallas Cowboy who has now dedicated himself
to dispelling the myths about marijuana.

In the year before 9/11, this country arrested 750,000 pot smokers and two
international terrorists. A plant that has, by the government's own
admission, killed not one human being gets all the attention, while New York
burns.

Alcohol and tobacco kill millions, Al Qaeda kills thousands, yet we're
spending our resources banning a plant that hasn't killed anyone and in fact
has many proven medical uses.
