LEGAL POT IS FREEDOM OF CHOICE

I'm writing about the not-so-thoughtful letter from Quentin Johnson,
Jr. titled "Marijuana logic faulty" on Jan. 25.

The cannabis legalization issue is not whether or not cannabis is
completely safe for everybody, including children, it is not. But
rather freedom of choice for adults.

Children have died from eating peanuts but we don't cage peanut
growers, sellers or consumers.

And the voters of Colorado and Washington state have decided that we
should not cage cannabis growers, sellers or consumers.

I submit that all adults should have the same freedom of choice that
they have in Colorado and Washington.
