EDUCATION NEEDED ABOUT ALL DRUGS

Editor:

Ira Gibel is absolutely right that we need to educate people about 
cannabis and all drugs. We should start by educating Ira.

Cannabis has been used for thousands of years with no documented 
medical problems. Ira's comment that all drugs are considered guilty 
until proven innocent also shows his lack of knowledge.

Most natural herbs are legally available and have never been 
subjected to FDA testing. Examples of commonly used herbs include 
echinacea, basil, oregano, and thousands of other plant substances.

For the government, or anyone, to think they can make a naturally 
occurring plant "illegal" is the height or arrogance and stupidity.
