LEGAL POT ADDS DRIVING RISKS

Re "From pot dreams to prison for whiz kid" (Page A1, Jan. 21):
Colorado and Washington legalized recreational pot, but I do not see
the purpose of legalizing marijuana for recreational uses other than
to generate income off of it. Although not to the extent of other
drugs, it is evident that marijuana impairs our abilities to properly
function. There is the idea that, like alcohol, there can be a limit
set for driving while under the influence. However,it is hard to test
and determine what is too much marijuana. The income that can result
from legalizing recreational marijuana simply is not worth the risk of
potential accidents. On top of that, it is a violation of federal law.
