LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

TIME TO WAKE UP TO REALITY

I must say that the people of this city and this country need to wake
up and see what the real danger to society is. The use of marijuana on
a medical basis is needed much more now than ever. There are killers
out there on the loose and children missing from their homes as we
speak, but I would like for one political figure to tell me why we are
wasting time and tax dollars hunting down the marijuana smokers. I say
let the pain be relieved and legalize marijuana for all purposes. If
not, then make cigarettes illegal too. They kill more people in one
year than marijuana ever has!
