CHOICES IN AN UNSAFE WORLD

Regarding Ruth Marcus's Jan. 3 op-ed column, "This weed should be yanked out":

The issue is not whether cannabis is safe for everybody. Rather, it 
is freedom of choice. Peanuts are lethal for some, but we don't 
imprison peanut growers, sellers or consumers. The voters of Colorado 
and Washington state have decided we should not imprison cannabis 
growers, sellers or consumers.
