Networks waffle on advocacy

Steroid issue about health, not home runs

Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor

I recently read a letter to the editor and my mouth literally dropped in disgust over the irrational way people discuss things when it comes to drugs.


This letter dealt with an article discussing the Supreme Court’s decision to make it illegal for medicinal marijuana cardholders to grow their own weed.

 

However, the author did not deal with this topic.


Instead the writer goes off on a tangent about lazy, stoner losers who want nothing more than to grow weed in their parent’s house and play video games.


Well, I shall happily rebute that there are indeed serious potheads who also lead successful, productive lives!


You might be surprised at who is smoking the reefer.


I also feel that it was ridiculously irrational that the writer could not distinguish between those who have chosen holistics methods to deal with very serious health problems, and those who merely like to toke it up.
