STEPNOSKI'S STAND  2 OF 3

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.
