REEFER MADNESS ON NEW YEAR'S?

Re: "Marijuana in Denver; Committee considers whether city is ready 
for Jan. 1," Dec. 10 news story.

What a huge disappointment Jan. 1 will be for Denver City Council 
member Charlie Brown. He is so out of touch with reality when it 
comes to marijuana use in Colorado. Does he really anticipate there 
will be thousands of pot smokers lined up at pot shops on New Year's Day?

People who smoke pot in Colorado do so now, and will not need to run 
out to the store on Jan. 1. They will not start smoking blatantly in 
their front yards or create chaos for the state of Colorado. Most of 
the people who smoke in Colorado will continue to do so in a 
responsible manner and will not suddenly provide pot to children. I 
predict that nothing will happen on Jan. 1, except that those who are 
criminals today will be legal in 2014.
