CANNABIS PROHIBITION AMOUNTS TO DISCRIMINATION

Dear Editor of the New University,

A sane reason to continue cannabis (marijuana) prohibition (Pot Goes 
to the Polls: UC Irvine Professors Share Their Opinions, Apr. 5, 
2010) doesn't exist. Cannabis prohibition amounts to one of the last 
opportunities for bigots to discriminate against other people and 
RE-legalizing the God given plant will help end that sin.

The article is incorrect stating cannabis "was" used for fiber to make
cloth in China. In fact it's ironic that communist Chinese farmers
grow hemp but free American farmers cannot and the greatest U.S. debt
to a foreign country is with China. And a thought: if cannabis is
RE-legalized, it's not simply that the Federal court can continue to
"prosecute" those found in possession of marijuana in California; it's
that they can continue to persecute those found in possession.

Truthfully,

Stan White
