CANNABIS PROHIBITION WILL BE HISTORY

Regarding "Oklahoma, Nebraska AGs liken Colorado to 'drug cartel' 
over pot" (News, Jan. 7): As a Colorado resident who helped end 
cannabis prohibition, I strongly disagree with Oklahoma and 
Nebraska's claim likening Colorado to a "drug cartel." Oklahoma and 
Nebraska's desire to continue caging responsible adults who choose to 
use the relatively safe, extremely popular God-given plant is 
dependent on Colorado perpetuating the historically discredited 
"Reefer Madness" scam, dependent on punishing Colorado for not 
punishing its citizens for using a beneficial plant with a tantrum. 
In reality, citizens including Oklahoma's and Nebraska's own citizens 
liken cannabis prohibitionists as being anti-Christian, vulgar and 
just plain wrong. In the end, cannabis prohibition and discrimination 
will be history.
