If men are doing it, it must be bad

This editorial states the obvious: if men are doing it, it must be bad.

"Seventy percent of Colorado's registered users are men, a sign that the state's culture of pot use has little to do with medicine."

Men are nefarious liars who obviously are using medical marijuana for something other than pain. The possibility men may end up in chronic pain more often than women is not even explored. We all know men are just plain bad.

Re: "Deeper doubts about 'medical' marijuana," Editorial, 3/21/11

Dear Editor,

So the fact that most medical marijuana users are male means it's a bad thing? Wow. As a men's rights organization, we thought more men used it because of long work hours, job stress, work injuries, health issues, loss of children in divorce, and social pressures. But apparently, it's because men are bad. Thank you for enlightening us, Denver Post.

Marc--

Thanks for your letter. What you say is right on point.

I found this editorial to be very demeaning. It assumes a very negative stereotype about men. Good news is most of the commenters on the Web site agree with you.

One of the perks for being female is never paying for drugs.

Men and marijuana use
