Stop pot-infused recipes

Fri., April 28, 2017

You are supposed to be publishing a family-oriented newspaper. What can you be thinking! The food section of the April 19 paper included “Elevating Your Edibles” with “pot infused foods.” Dorothy Dean must be turning over in her grave.

It may be legal but this will encourage young people to think it is normal to eat pot at every meal and that there are no risks involved. How about a little scotch on your Cheerios, honey? Is the next step to add pot to the alcohol section of our grocery stores?

You are not The Inlander.
