TAX POT - JUST LIKE ALCOHOL

If marijuana is legalized ("Bid to legalize pot goes on ballot," March
25), then state and local entities can obtain tax revenue from users,
just as with alcohol and tobacco.

Seems fair to me. The pot smokers aren't going to go away, and they've
enjoyed their particular intoxicant tax free for far too long.
