LET FLORIDA EXPERIENCE FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Regarding the Feb. 2 letter, "Recreational marijuana should be
legalized, too":

I'd like to add that the cannabis legalization issue is not whether
cannabis is completely safe for everybody - including children and
teenagers. It's not. The issue is freedom of choice for adults.
Children have died from eating peanuts and peanut butter, but we don't
cage peanut growers, sellers or consumers.

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

Florida adults have the freedom of choice of whether or not to consume
legal alcohol. Shouldn't they have the same freedom of choice
regarding legal cannabis?
