Bull.  I have in hand a copy of "Pot Safari" by Peggy Mann, daughter of
Margaret Mann, first female member of Alocoholics Anonymous.  It
documents with fact after fact, conversation after conversation her trip
of 4 months to the top marijuana researchers in this nation and Canada.
It has Library of Congress no. 82-91050.  Since that time, the stuff has
gotten stronger.  Any book done today in the same fashion would simply
find more chemicals in marijuana than the 2,000 referred to in this
book.  Toxic chemicals.
The properties of this noxious weed haven't changed for the better in
the 15 years since the original research was done.  And anyone who
insists that it has is defending a substance they are under the
influence of, one way or another.
Another book on my shelves that I cannot see readily was published by
the union for the corrections officers in Seattle who worked in the King
County Jail.  They saw first hand what happened to kids who were under
the influence of this weed and wrote a manual on it for parents.
It didn't glorify the use of a drug that has killed many youngsters in
King County.  Not one damn bit.
And I suggest that anyone who is ignorant of the truth about this drug
is either defending the right to use it or is under its influence in one
way or another.
There is no right inherent in using a mind altering drug and endangering
one's own life or the life of anyone else.  None.
