I was shocked to read in the Oct. 21 Kalamazoo Gazette family newspaper, the words of singer George Michael, talking about marijuana: ``This stuff keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug -- but, obviously it's not very healthy.''
What a disgusting and objectionable way to influence youth and readers of the Gazette.
Having recently conducted the funeral of an intelligent 19-year-old young man killed by a drug overdose, you get my ``righteous indignation'' up to a high level. May God have mercy on you and forgive you for printing these words in our Gazette.

Despite the propoganda telling you otherwise, marijuana has never caused a single overdose death in the thousands of years it has been used, is not a gateway drug and does not cause cancer. Before you shoot off angry letters to the editor, you might want to do a little research about the maligned drugs that you object to so vehemently.
I find it interesting how George Micheal admits to the unhealthiness of his merry-jew-wanna habit while conducting the interview. Do you think he would have made a similar admission had he been eating a greasy cheeseburger, washed down with a calorie-loaded pop? I doubt the unhealthiness of his recreational substances would have been called into question.
But don't worry, Pastor. We will forgive you for the fact that you are uninformed and reinforcing many stereotypes about drugs and therefore encouraging the war on drugs which claims many lives every day.
I should make sure to wish him a Merry Cephalopodmas, when the time is right!

While it would certainly be very rare, couldn't concievably someone overdose on THC by eating the plants to excess?
It is not possible to ingest enough marijuana by eating or smoking it to induce a fatal overdose. It has never happened. Links and more links!
