USE OF POT IS STILL ILLEGAL

Allan Erickson's Jan. 10 letter, "Prohibition ineffective," and Kirk 
Muse's Jan. 2 letter, "Legal pot builds roadblock," tout the Czech 
Republic as doing it right, regarding handling problems with marijuana.

If they'd rather deal with the former satellite nation, passports are 
easy to obtain - for non-criminals. These two are either claiming 
they're sick enough to need a bogus cure like pot, or they support a 
criminal act.

Illegal crops making illicit money, (while destroying lives of users 
and families) is no reason to legalize or decriminalize them.
