DEATH PENALTY FOR POT USE

Re: your April 30 editorial, "Pot costs man shot at a liver":

I'm a Libertarian, so I would be opposed to marijuana prohibition 
even if I had the same hostile attitude expressed by those who either 
benefit from its prohibition or are ignorant of its effects. But what 
system of values justifies a death sentence for using marijuana? I 
hope The Star will offer the University of Washington Medical Center 
an opportunity to answer this question.
