THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP IT

I appreciate McNamara's piece.

As one who has been very much against legalization of yet another
harmful substance, I have come to see the benefits it would bring and
feel Mr. McNamara presents very sound arguments.

The area I live in is a hotbed for illegal growers, and I have seen
there is no stopping its use. One aspect of legalizing marijuana that
I have not seen addressed is second-hand smoke. Whether on the street
or in the home, I don't want to smell it or inhale it. With drinking
in the home, which, of course, can be abused, at least the children
aren't inhaling it when the adults are partaking.
