LEGALIZING MARIJUANA: ADULTS CAN DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES

The U. S. government has been gambling on marijuana prohibition for the 
past three decades.  Betting that the next multi billion dollar drug war 
budget will somehow nullify the basic economic law of supply and 
demand.  And coming up snake eyes every time ("Measure gambles on 
marijuana," News Aug. 27)

Prohibition doesn't work.  It never has and never will. Even if prohibition 
did work, what right does the government have dictating what adult citizens 
may or may not put into their own bodies? Absolutely no right.
