Author: Tom Puglia DON'T LEGALIZE POT I am unalterably opposed to a legalization of marijuana, which is a gateway drug ("Snuff out pot law," March 24). In addition, we should watch more closely what problems arise in the states that have legalized marijuana over the course of five or six years. Regarding medical marijuana, for those who need it, perhaps it could have been synthesized in pill form and sold out of CVS or Walgreens. Or perhaps the medical marijuana could be delivered in some other way, such as e-cigarettes. The real problem is the state's insatiable drug of choice: tax revenue We do not need marijuana dispensaries. People who need it medically could have had it in one of those two ways I have suggested - - and that would show that we are helping those who are hurting, instead of just filling the state's coffers. - - Tom Puglia, Leominster - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
