This is one of the best best letters to the editor ever: “I would like to respond to D. Skipworth’s letter last Monday. She stated the war on drugs is hypocritical and a lost cause and potential tax dollars go uncollected because of ignorant politicians and police. The benefits of hemp are mentioned, and she states cannabis is good for the planet. We learn Chris Columbus may have come to America with sails made from hemp. While that may or may not be true, I think they used to pull teeth without Novocain, too. In a perfect world we would all do the right thing and use common sense. Too bad for us, we all have a different idea of common sense. I’ll just use one word as an extreme example: pedophiles.” (via Drug WarRant)
