LEGALIZING POT ONLY FOR MONEY

Re "Pot will increase drugged driving" (Letters, April 12): It seems 
that no one who advocates for legalizing marijuana is looking out for 
anyone other than their own pockets. Our government leaders see 
dollars flowing to state and local coffers, and now big business is 
getting on the bandwagon as the process looks very lucrative from 
their perspective.

But who is looking out for our children? Who can keep our roads safe 
from drugged drivers?

I think many voters will simply vote "yes" because they don't see the 
potential problems, but legalization is a dangerously slippery slope. 
We are looking at more deaths on the highways and elsewhere if we legalize pot.
