CAN GOVERNMENT'S METH INFO BE TRUSTED

After all the lies of reefer madness the government and law 
enforcement say about cannabis (marijuana) how do citizens, and 
especially youth, know they're telling the truth about meth? 
("Continue, expand fight against meth," Valley Times, Nov. 29.)

According to government reports, cannabis is the biggest problem in 
North America, not meth - just ask the U.S. drug czar.

Today's pot is more like cocaine, causing cancer and all. Cannabis 
which, to my knowledge, has never killed anyone in over 5,000 years 
of documented use is a Schedule I substance right next to heroin, and 
meth is only rated a Schedule II substance - so meth must not be a 
big deal, right?

What's the truth?
