Marijuana policy debate deserves full context

BRATTLEBORO — If you want to deal with cannabis use as a health issue -and as this article stands, the author must also acknowledge the numerous studies and anecdotal evidence that cannabinoid products have medicinal use as well as “negative mental health” impacts - than from an intellectual void comes the call to keep it criminalized rather than engage it as a public-health issue.

It's how we deal with alcohol. It's how we deal with tobacco. It should be how we deal with marijuana.

This article wants to maintain the thoroughly useless, life-destroying, tax-funded War on Drugs, and no sensible person should be subjected to such drivel.
