People have to write their representatives and raise a stink higher than Mt. McKinley.People complain in the blogs that something should be done but they dont let those in power know their feelings. What needs to be done is Organisation by R.I.D. / M.A.D.D / S.A.D.D. and other anti D.W.I. factors to do the biggest mail in the State(s) have ever dealt with. Homicide by D.W.I. is Americas only socially acceptable crime of violence,let's all do the right thing,let our words/ voices be heard as other groups have done.

]]> Comment on Pot distracts Public on Alcohol’s harm by Kalika http://rid-usa.org/blog/2008/03/29/pot-distracts-public-on-alcohols-harm/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Kalika Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:56:29 +0000 http://rid-usa.org/blog/2008/03/29/pot-distracts-public-on-alcohols-harm/#comment-34 I really enjoyed the comparison of pot to alcohol. this issue could use a lot more coverage based on facts about the real life results of using them. Marijuana also has a helpful medical benefit for those suffering from chemotherapy. my observation is that the "war on drugs" has effectively obscured the very real problems we have with legal drugs like alcohol(and I want to add prescription medications). I believe all substances should be legalized and controlled to undermine the black markets which wreak havoc on communities everywhere. I love the new RID website, thank you Evan!
