CANNABIS PROHIBITION MUST END

Re: Marijuana strategy missing (Letters, Oct. 26)

I'm sure Malina Hedgecock means well, however, cannabis (marijuana) 
prohibition must be put behind us. The majority of North Americans are 
through with caging and punishing responsible adults who wish to use the 
relatively safe, God-given plant. At this point, the strategy is to end 
one of North America's worst policy failures in history as soon as possible.

It is commendable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is ending cannabis 
prohibition in Canada. Colorado successfully legalized cannabis for 
adults, and every subsequent poll indicates Colorado citizens continue 
supporting the end of cannabis prohibition.

There is every reason to believe that when Canada ends cannabis 
prohibition, the majority will not look back with regret either.
