LET'S LEGALIZE IT

Like the majority of Oregonians, I don't use marijuana. But I know a 
few who do, and they use it responsibly, much as most alcohol 
consumers use alcohol responsibly and most gun owners don't misuse 
guns. Outlawing marijuana to force the minority to live the lifestyle 
chosen by the majority is what John Adams called "the tyranny of the 
majority." Tyranny is wrong, whether it comes from one person or many.

Let's do the right thing and legalize marijuana.
