US: Time to re-legalize
Stan White Pittsburg Tribune Review
Wednesday 24 Oct 2007 Let's not just decriminalize ("Lighten our prison load: Decriminalize marijuana," Jack Markowitz column, Business, Oct. 21 and PghTrib.com), but completely re-legalize the relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana). Cannabis is safer than alcohol, especially when compared with whiskey. It's less addictive than coffee and hasn't killed one single human in over 5,000 years of documented use, compared to cigarettes, which kill over 1,000 Americans daily. It is unrealistic that the federal government claims cannabis is a Schedule I substance along with heroin, while meth is only a Schedule II substance. Yes, "It's time," Mr. Markowitz, that responsible adults be allowed to choose to use cannabis without the threat of being caged because of discredited laws.
