CAN'T STOP POT

Vail Daily Buddy Sims has a distorted view of the effects of 
marijuana prohibition if he thinks it prevents teens from using pot. 
The fact is that any high school kid can get all of the marijuana 
they can pay for. Unlicensed, unregulated, outlaw dealers do not 
check ID for age, and kids are welcome customers.

If having a pot shop near a church wrecks believers' faith, they need 
more Bible study, not man-made laws.

Legal marijuana can be regulated and controlled so it is foolhardy to 
set barriers to legal distribution.
