CONTROLLING MARIJUANA

Regarding "Advocates of legal pot say it's not if, but when" (Page 
A1, Monday), I believe that the government should legalize the use of 
marijuana. However, the government should be in charge of taxing and 
regulating the substance. By doing so, the government will generate 
new revenues and lower the number of criminals selling marijuana. 
This would also allow for police to focus more on major crimes rather 
than petty criminal charges of marijuana possession.

I agree with the fact that the government should place an age limit 
on the drug.
