THE POT BANDWAGON

Re "Legal marijuana: What do you tell your kids?," Sept. 1

It appears that Pandora's box is filled with weed. Now that marijuana 
is legal in Colorado and Washington, the people of those states are 
experiencing the results of open use of a mind-altering substance.

Ask hard-core drug users how they got started, and you will hear many 
say they began their spiral with a hit from a joint.

As more states jump on the pot bandwagon, the vision that the rest of 
the world has of the United States will be very similar to the image 
published alongside the article: thousands of people sprawled out 
along a beach getting high together.
