TAKE MARIJUANA OUT OF THE HANDS OF CRIMINALS

Regarding Drue Berry's not-so-thoughtful June 7 letter: "Arguments for
legalizing pot are weak." There was no mention by Berry as to why s/he
wants to keep marijuana completely unregulated, untaxed and controlled
by criminals.

As for her/his argument that perhaps we should legalize murder, in a
murder there is an unwilling victim. In a marijuana transaction, both buyer
and seller walk away happy. Thus no victim.
