I was joking when I wrote the editor’s note at the beginning of the April 20 Public Safety Log, which was published on April 21. None of us at the Times think that marijuana is all that dangerous. We have done extensive research and experimentation. We’re glad that most of our readers got the joke.
No one is harmed if I make sarcastic remarks about the dangers of Marijuana; if there was any real danger in casual marijuana use, I’d be like the lunatics in Reefer Madness by now. The only entry in the log for April 20 that even mentioned a specific intoxicant was when Pendleton Police cited and released a drunk driver on SW Frazier Ave. at 9:45 p.m. You can’t get drunk on marijuana, because only alcohol gets you drunk in the first place.
