Glamorous marijuana?

Fri., Jan. 17, 2020

As usual I quickly put your Cannabis insert of Friday’s paper in the recycle bin. “Grass and Glamour”? Seriously?

I remember my youth in the 1950s, when magazines and movie stars advertised cigarettes as “glamorous.” I couldn’t wait to grow up and be just like Lauren Bacall.

So now this is the message you want to send my grandchildren but you’ve substituted marijuana for Camels in order to be “cool” and “glamorous”?
