WAR ON DRUGS

Help stop the waste of millions of tax dollars in `drug war'

Please help put a stop to the madness that some call the "war on drugs."

You, being in the forefront of the media, know that it is failing. Please
help put a stop to the waste of millions of dollars we taxpayers pay.

Please help put a stop to the prosecution of sick people. What harm is the
government saving us from when a person, sick or not, smokes cannabis? The
only element that is dangerous related to cannabis is the black market that
is brought on by the "war on drugs."

Cannabis users are not violent. No one to date has ever died from cannabis.
Yet, thousands die every year from alchohol and tobacco.
