Dear ModemNews Readers,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
America has a serious problem that must be dealt with as soon
|
||
|
|
as possible. It seems that it is perfectly OK for the government
|
||
|
|
to subsidize the tobacco industry while at the same time spending
|
||
|
|
money to tell us that we are being ruined by addictive drugs. We
|
||
|
|
all know that nicotine is one of the MOST addictive drugs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are not told that the cost of alcohol abuse is more than
|
||
|
|
TWICE that of illegal drug use. We are made to believe that the
|
||
|
|
majority of crimes are committed by casual drug users, while the
|
||
|
|
full truth lies hidden behind the administrations bombast and
|
||
|
|
rhetoric. Whose drug war are we fighting?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Face it. There is BIG money in illegal drugs, mostly
|
||
|
|
'because' they are illegal. Most drug related crimes are
|
||
|
|
perpetrated by dealers and not by the users. Drugs of all sorts
|
||
|
|
have been around for thousands of years, so why is it now that we
|
||
|
|
are faced with the alleged problems?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like it or not people will always find some artificial method
|
||
|
|
of altering their own personal reality. Some will use 'legal' drugs
|
||
|
|
like valium, librium and alcohol. Some will find others.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ModemNews Magazine is interested in knowing how you feel about
|
||
|
|
this subject. We will look at this one step at a time. For
|
||
|
|
starters we would like to look at the legalization of Marajuana.
|
||
|
|
We'd like your opinions on whether marajuana should be legalized, if
|
||
|
|
so under what conditions, and what should be done about educating
|
||
|
|
the public.
