<div dir="ltr"><div>I would like to pipe up and say that I am for legalization of marijuana, despite the fact that I think it is probably dangerous if not for the simple fact that you are inhaling smoke into your lungs. The reasons I am for legalization have more to do with wanting to stop the fiasco that is the War on Drugs than they do with whether or not I want to partake myself. Take the black market away, and much of the associated crime goes with it. Plus, I think adults can choose their own levels of risk without Big Brother stepping in.<br><br></div>Paul<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 1:19 PM, Darrell Keim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:keim153@gmail.com" target="_blank">keim153@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the chance to clarify.
