WHY PREVENT MARIJUANA FROM BEING REGULATED?

In response to "Getting real about marijuana" (July 9 Viewpoint):
Kathleen Parker is spot on. Clearly the worst aspect of marijuana use
is getting caught.

America needs to get a grip on the War on Some Drugs if we are ever to
bring peace to our streets and to close the gap of disrespect between
law enforcement and citizens.

The current plan will never work, no matter how much money we spend or
how many prisons we build.

Surely in a world of legal alcohol and tobacco products there is room
for marijuana regulation.
