Marijuana: A drug by any other name is still a drug

Re: “Gourmet ganja? Marijuana dining is growing up, slowly” (TNT, 10/13).

When I see in the TNT business section a story about gourmet pot, it makes me ashamed of my state. You can call it whatever you want to, but a drug is a drug.

Drug addicts can get their fix easy now thanks to the greed of the politicians in this state who need to fatten their wallets, but most of us know it’s just plain dope, not a fancy name called cannabis.
