The Daily 49er’s Dec. 3 editorial “Calif. legislators need class at Ganja U.” was right on target. Not only should medical marijuana be made available to patients in need, but adult recreational use should be regulated. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-oriented black market.[Read More…]
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor are opeds from outside people that are given to the 49er to run.
Letter to the editor-Budget furloughs killing dreams
I am a full time Cal State Long Beach student and work full time as a private violin instructor, sacrificing and struggling to pay for higher education. My story is not unique, but rather the story of many people attending this university. However, they are not speaking up about the[Read More…]
Letter to the editor-Leonard Peltier case deserves review
Thank you for your recent editorial calling for Leonard Peltier’s release [Monday, Nov. 23 Daily 49er]. We would like to invite you to sign onto the ad we intend to run in the Nation magazine also calling on President Obama to release all FBI documents relevant to his case. Current[Read More…]
Letter to the editor-Leonard Peltier decision should stand
This will be a very short comment on your newspaper’s “Opinion” concerning the pardoning of the killer Peltier by Obama [Monday, Nov. 23 Daily 49er].

Letters to the Editor-Teach your children well
Regarding the Daily 49er Oct. 6 article, “Sex education among young should hit international classroom,” children everywhere need sexual education.

Letters to the editor-Budget crisis means all must pitch in
We have a financial and practical suggestion that might help save our university in these critical times.

Letters to the Editor: Latino Commission needed
Yes, it is time for a presidential commission on Latino issues at Cal State Long Beach (“Latino faculty want to end ‘Brown Out’ at The Beach” in Thursday’s Daily 49er)! The numbers speak for themselves. I would even go as far as saying that the designation of CSULB as a[Read More…]
Letters to the Editor: Israeli article was biased
The article “Israel out of US control” (Monday, Sept. 20 Daily 49er) by Zien Halwani contains many flaws in reasoning due to the author’s personal bias toward Israel.
