TAXING MARIJUANA A GOOD START

To the Editor:

I don't smoke pot or do any illegal drugs. Yet I support the zip tie 
program and its not because I like the sheriff (yes it is true I do), 
what we need is to start a regulation as to the growing of medical 
marijuana and some simple taxation on a local level! May I also 
suggest that the bags containing the medication have heat stamped 
serial/ taxation numbers on them or bar codes! When it comes to John 
Pinches and the legalization of marijuana, (yes I like Mr. Pinches we 
have just started an acquaintance friendship) I don't like the idea 
of legalizing marijuana, yet I personally feel that a commercial 
growing license is I needed order. In the realm of a liquor license 
to control the production of the future plantations going out of hand 
in our county. Limitation is the key to the answer, here, packaging 
and production control should have oversight as well. To insure 
quality control. But then again I shall humble myself for I have no 
insight or experience in this area, and should leave this to those that have.
