LEGALIZE USE OF MARIJUANA

Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the U.S. ["Should 
Marijuana Users Just Be Ticketed?" Nov. 1]

Fact is, cannabis is a God-given plant, not a drug. Government has 
been pushing the discredited prohibition, persecution and 
extermination of cannabis so long, people have stopped seeing the plant.

Acknowledge cannabis as described on the very first page of the 
Bible, completely legalize the plant and most every problem 
associated with cannabis prohibition will dissolve. Except of course, 
the police union will continue griping that officers would lose the 
overtime they earn from going to court on pot cases.
