ADDICTED TO POT OR ALCOHOL?

Re "Questioning legalization," Opinion, June 5

I am sorry to Madden that her brother-in-law was apparently an 
alcoholic. Marijuana had nothing to do with his anger and destruction.

In my 50 years or so of experience with pot, the substance has never 
made anyone I know angry or want to fight or kill, as alcohol has. 
The alcoholics I've known have always improved their personalities by 
using marijuana and become easier to deal with.

Don't blame pot for a drunk's lousy behavior.
