WILL PROP.  64 IMPROVE STATE?

Re "Bumper crop of pot cash" ( Insight, Aug.  30 ): I think Foon Rhee is dead on target when he writes that "California's marijuana market is projected to mushroom from $2.7 billion in 2015 to $6.5 billion by 2020 if recreational pot becomes legal," and "a lot of people are poised to make a lot of money."

Whenever I'm deciding whether to vote "yes" or "no" on a particular proposition, I always ask myself in what way the passage or defeat of that proposition will improve the life, socially and economically, of the average California citizen.  I emphasize the word "improve."

From what I've read and understand, passage of Proposition 64 will does neither.  It is as Rhee writes: A lot of people are poised to make a lot of money.  Vote No on Proposition 64.
