UP IN SMOKE

Regarding John Groom's column: "High time to decriminalize pot" 
(Boomer With Attitude, Aug. 6), I say it's high time to fully 
legalize pot. Not just remove the penalties for its use or possession.

Only fully legal products of any kind can be regulated, taxed and 
controlled by any government agency.

Speaking of taxing pot, it seems to me that nonmarijuana users would 
be in favor of taxing pot. Around these parts, taxing someone else's 
vice is very popular.
