HANDLE MARIJUANA Regarding "Legalize marijuana? First, watch Colo." (Editorial, Viewpoints, Saturday)" I agree with The Republic's editorial board. Let's watch and see what happens in Colorado before making a decision regarding the legalization of marijuana. Arizona should not be in a rush to follow other states in full legalization. However, should we continue to put people in jail for pot? Don't legalize it, decriminalize it. As for medical marijuana, if a doctor prescribes it for a patient, the patient should be allowed to use it. But it should be sold only by a licensed pharmacist, like any other controlled substance. The federal government should let the states decide how they will regulate marijuana and limit itself to enforcement of the importation and interstate traffic of it. - - Bob Haran, Glendale - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
