IRONY OF MARIJUANA'S DEFEAT

Let me get this straight: People are free to purchase and smoke 
cancer-causing, addictive nicotine. There is no ban on the use or 
abuse of alcoholic beverages. Doctors are permitted to dispense all 
kinds of drugs without restrictions.

Yet, we are so worried about medical marijuana that the amendment to 
legalize its use was defeated.

The giant pharmaceutical companies must be laughing all the way to 
their laboratories, where they will continue to manufacture their 
expensive drugs unopposed by the sale of legal marijuana horning in 
on their profits.
