OFFICIALS CONVINCE READER

FOR MANY years, I felt the sale and use of marijuana should be fully 
legalized, largely to deprive criminal gangs of a lucrative source of 
income and recruiting in our failed War on Drugs. But when I see the 
Colorado model, where companies create and market enticing 
marijuana-based products that are likely to appeal to children, and I 
read the compelling public health case made by Governor Baker, 
Attorney General Healey, and Mayor Walsh, I've reversed my position.
