They can, and have, said it is less h a rm fu l than eith er alcohol, tobacco or prescription tra n q u ilize rs (w h ich are also drugs) They can say what people do in the p riv ac y o f th eir hom es is no one c ls e ’s business But what the w ho le ballot m easure addresses is do we w ant to introduce yet another drug into w ide spread and legalized use in our society. I say not W e are already contending with the effects of alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs abuse in o ur society D o we wish to add another to the list? T ru e , many people already sm oke m ariju ana (just look at the num ber w ho signed the petition fo r its le g a liza tio n ), but it the m ariju ana in itiative passes in N o ve m b er, the availability o l the drug w ill skyrocket, and becom e even m ore widespread W e d o n ’ t need m ore ways to get high in our so ciety. abuse o l the ava ilab le m ethods is causing enough problem s V
