MAKE POT LEGAL

I am writing in response to a letter titled "Marijuana dangers." R.G.  Dierdorff wrote an intelligent and informative letter that I agree with.  It sounds like back in his pothead days you were a real heavy dude.  I am a recovering drug addict and believe what he was saying is the truth.  I have a question: What about the person who comes home and treats pot like a good cigar or a fine brandy?

I believe the marijuana initiative should be put on the ballot, but it should be structured in a way that the burden of responsibility falls on the shoulders of the user.

If the legalization of pot should be a failure, we the people, could use the Volstead Act in reverse.  Drug testing is a joke; you take marijuana off the list then you could concentrate on the white powder drugs that are out on the job sites.  People who make real big money selling pot do not want marijuana legalized.
