MARIJUANA EDITORIAL PLAYS FAST AND LOOSE WITH FACTS

The Sun should get an award for the most inaccurate and backwards thinking editorial ( "Colorado"s New High Not For Massachusetts," Jan.  5 ) regarding Colorado relegalizing cannabis ( marijuana ).

We haven't "made it easier for cartels;" the cartels hate regulation and thrive without it.  Make no mistake, people know what they're getting.  There is no medical "prescriptions" necessary or available.  $25 per ounce doesn't exist within Colorado borders.

All the bureaucratic expense will be paid for by cannabis store fees and the high taxes paid when citizens purchase cannabis.  Does The Sun really believe underage people have had any trouble acquiring cannabis in the underground market in the last eight decades?

A sane or moral argument to continue caging responsible adults for using the God-given plant ( see the first page of the Bible ) doesn't exist.
