There is an excellent letter in the Seattle Times today that I thought would be worth sharing: This guy sure knows his facts!
You're bane on drugs
The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Americas kids. There is no such thing as medical marijuana. Marijuana is not a medicine, and it is illegal. End of discussion.
Fact: Marijuana is at least 30 times as toxic and 30 times as dangerous as it was 30 years ago.
Fact: Marijuana causes brain damage and makes learning impossible for weeks or months after it is used.
Fact: Marijuana sales support terrorists like Saddam Hussein, who plan attacks like 9/11.
America must crack down on users, including those who purport to use [drugs] responsibly and appear to have successful careers. If you use marijuana, you are a criminal, and you belong behind bars.
Those who send the message to children that [marijuana] is harmless or that it is a medicine must be dealt with. Only when we get tough will we ever win the war on drugs.

Man, I love a good laugh! Especially the fact about Saddam and 9/11.
