Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense

My recent letter to the editor concerning Legalizing marijuana and the amount of tax revenue it would generate was published in Saturday's edition of the Alexander City Outlook.

It was also published in the Gadsden Times but hasn't been posted to the website as of this morning.

  2. "It's time Alabama considered legalizing
    and reaping the benefits of this untapped green goldmine."

    Kudos, Loretta!!!
    I love you for your courage and unrelentingness...!!!

    May I add a few words of my own...

    Cannabis, the SAFER
    "coffee-equivalent" relaxant...

    - Watched a news-story last
    weekend on 60 Minutes about
    something far more "dangerous" than
    cannabis, which, when partaken in excess,
    causes one to become a VERY LOUSY,
    VERY DEADLY DRIVER. (Yet it's LEGAL!!!).

    - Compared with this "something",
    CANNABIS is BENIGN!!!

    Why should
    cannabis, the SAFER,
    "coffee-equivalent relaxant"
    remain villified, prohibited,
    not even generating retail-sales tax-revenue,
    while a stupifying, flammable solvent is
    always given carte-blanc approval...???

    - Based upon this...
    I believe that CANNABIS should
    be Re-LEGALIZED!!! As "LEGAL" as
    Mentha piperita, (PEPPERMINT)!!!

    Marijuana is Safer
