Farmer's animosity toward all things marijuana knows no    bounds. Using phrases such as \"dumping hundreds of sorry    stoners into the streets\" amounts to nothing but yellow    journalism.  <\/p>\n<p>    Hey, Guy, why not mention all the \"abusive alcoholics\" running    amok while you're at it? As always, Guy can't bring himself to    criticize alcohol or tobacco, which are two legal drugs with    far worse health consequences than marijuana.  <\/p>\n<p>    Guy constantly condemns marijuana edibles, presumably in order    to \"protect the children.\" Why doesn't Guy have as much outrage    about the alcohol industry with its alcoholic \"treats\" such as    root beer, orange and cream sodas I now see everywhere? How    about letting parents be responsible instead of outlawing    things through a nanny state?  <\/p>\n<p>    One more thing to think about, the five top entities against    legalizing marijuana are pharmaceutical corporations, police    unions, private prison corporations, prison guard unions, and    the alcohol industry.  <\/p>\n<p>    Pharmaceuticals want to sell their drugs (with dangerous side    effects), police receive funding to battle pot, prisons want    bodies to profit from and alcohol doesn't want competition to    their drug. It's pretty simple, all of these entities stand to    lose money if marijuana is legal.  <\/p>\n<p>    Criminalizing alcohol was a disaster during prohibition and so    is the ongoing criminalization of marijuana today. Jailing    people for victimless crimes is insane. Folks who enjoy a toke    or two for relaxation or medication should be allowed to do so    legally and in no way deserve to be constantly attacked and    vilified by the likes of Guy Farmer.  <\/p>\n<p>    Alan Banfield  <\/p>\n<p>    Carson City  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>More here: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nevadaappeal.com\/news\/opinion\/letters-to-the-editor-for-tuesday-march-28-2017\/\" title=\"Letters to the editor for Tuesday, March 28, 2017 - Nevada Appeal\">Letters to the editor for Tuesday, March 28, 2017 - Nevada Appeal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Endless vilification of marijuana becoming senseless Guy W.
