Letter: No harm in it
---
Steve Clements is correct (No smoking gun, Letters, November 2). Every
major study of the drug laws from around the world in the last 100 years
has concluded that marijuana is not a significant threat to public
health, safety, or personal ambition.
You don't have to take Steve's word for it, or mine. You can read the
full text of those government commission reports at
http://druglibrary.org/schaffer under Major Studies Of Drugs And Drug
Policy.
They all say that the marijuana laws were based on racism, ignorance,
and nonsense.
They all say the marijuana laws should have been repealed long ago
because they do more harm than good.
The problem is not lack of research. The problem is that people haven't
bothered to read it before they offered their opinions.
