POT IS READILY AVAILABLE, BUT DO WE WANT CARTELS TO CONTROL MARKET?

County Attorneys Sheila Polk and Bill Montgomery object to the 
legalization of marijuana.

The war against black-market marijuana has admittedly failed. Pot is 
popular, easily available, in the schools and people are driving 
under its influence. Yet, can we honestly claim illegal marijuana is 
more harmful than that which is legal?

Shouldn't the county attorneys, however, be obligated to tell you and 
me if they prefer marijuana be marketed by the Mexican cartels?
