RESPONSIBLE ADULT MARIJUANA USE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED

Why wasn't there a Protocol C ("Smith Reconsiders Alcohol, Drug 
Policy," Jan. 10, 2008), recommending to re-legalize cannabis 
(marijuana) since it's safer than alcohol, especially when compared 
to whiskey? Responsible adult use of the relatively safe God-given 
plant cannabis should not result in six to nine months of probation, 
a fine of $100 and a required marijuana intervention program. 
Cannabis use should be treated as less dangerous and addictive than 
alcohol, not an equal or more dangerous substance.
