POT, ALCOHOL SHOULD GET SAME TREATMENT
EDITOR:
Regarding the "County joins resolution against legalized pot" article
published March 4, there was no mention as to why the Yavapai County
supervisors want to keep cannabis completely unregulated, untaxed and
controlled by criminal gangs.
I'd like to add that the cannabis legalization issue is not whether
cannabis is completely safe for everybody, including children and
adolescents - it is 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 state have decided that we
should not cage cannabis growers, sellers or consumers.
Arizona 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?
