NO SANE REASON TO CARRY ON CANNABIS PROHIBITION

If rational citizens are "to determine whether their experiences have 
been positive or not" concerning the issue of cannabis (marijuana) 
prohibition (Letter: Don't Legalize Marijuana, Feb. 20, 2012), we 
shouldn't just be considering locations which have legalized cannabis 
for insight.

The Netherlands have nothing but positive examples for allowing
cannabis usage, the only reason the laws are being restricted is due
to ignorant segments of the population and the outcome will be
increased violence and hard drug usage.

The most telling experiences and example are of North America's
experiment with cannabis prohibition and for that the evidence is
overwhelming: cannabis prohibition is a deadly nightmare for all
involved except for those who profit off the devil law.

A sane reason to continue cannabis prohibition simply doesn't
exist.
