IT'S ALIVE!

Grant Scott-Goforth is mistaken to equate ending cannabis (marijuana)
prohibition with an experiment ("Give It Away Now," April 9). Like the
original prohibition with alcohol, which historically is known as the
Grand Experiment, the sequel, with cannabis, is the experiment. More
like a Frankenstein experiment.

The effort in Washington D.C. is simply a desperate attempt to end one
of America's worst policy failures in history. Ending the negative
consequences of cannabis prohibition requires forcing government to
regulate cannabis. Unfortunately, Republican Congress chooses to force
the black market to regulate the God-given plant. The proof: knowing
most people in D.C. who have cannabis were not given their plant material.
