POT AND PROHIBITION

Dear Editor,

Thanks for publishing Robert Sharpe's thoughtful letter:

"Drug war fuels crime" (7-10-09). I'd like to add that marijuana 
prohibition causes marijuana to be completely unregulated, untaxed 
and controlled by criminals--just like alcohol was when it was illegal.

And just like alcohol was when it was illegal, today's black market 
marijuana is of unknown quality, unknown purity and unknown potency.
