POT SHOULD BE SOLD THE SAME AS ALCOHOL

Re: Editorials about marijuana, March 8-11

I want to commend The Sun for the courage to present a balanced view about 
marijuana. Too many influential voices pander to the anti-pot view without 
considering why it is illegal in the first place. For some people, pot is 
medicinal and, for the rest, it is supposedly bad.

Governments should sell pot much in the same manner as alcohol. If this 
happened, there would be no more grow-op problems and the police could 
spend their time and money catching the real bad people instead of pot smokers.
