GAME ON

Editor:

Millions of California citizens demand and require cannabis
(marijuana) through a legal and regulated market, so the next step is
to stay the course ("Where To Now?", Nov. 11). Proposition 19
organizers are already planning another proposition for 2012. Colorado
is also preparing initiatives for the 2012 election ballot to legalize
the relatively safe, God-given plant, cannabis. Massachusetts,
Washington, Oregon, Nevada and others may join it.

Perhaps the next step is to make the effort to legalize the plant a
race. There is some question as to which state will be first.
America's competitive spirit may help get cannabis legalized sooner
too. As a Colorado cannabis activist and citizen, I challenge
California along with the rest of the states to a race to legalize
cannabis.
