COLORADO LIGHTS THE WAY ON POT

It's difficult for Coloradans to imagine California's quagmire 
regarding medical cannabis since we completely re-legalized the 
plant. ("Los Angeles needs a new medical marijuana policy," editorial, Jan. 18)

Colorado residents who wish to use cannabis for an array of medical 
and health conditions simply purchase it over the counter - without 
any chaos and without a doctor or a state permit, which amount to 
paying extortion money for protection against police.

Once California also legalizes cannabis, treating it like the 
relatively safe, beneficial, therapeutic plant that it is, the chaos 
will disappear.
