MARIJUANA-LEGALIZATION EFFORT WILL LEAD TO HEATED DEBATES

What will happen if initiative passes?

I enjoyed today's article on Initiative 502. ["He fought pot, now 
leads effort to make it legal here," page one, Nov. 17.]

The upcoming debate will be quite interesting to follow as things 
unfold. Police Chief Ed Holmes is correct about one thing. You don't 
smoke it with your burger. You smoke it before your burger.

One has to wonder . . . What happens if Initiative 502 does pass? 
Will deregulation follow? Will Costco then want their cut?
