Booze is the big problem

Re: "Liberals going to pot," (Letters, Jan. 23) Anyone with half a 
brain should realize that pot should be legal. Alcohol is a much 
bigger problem than weed ever could be. If it were legalized it would 
bring in billions of dollars a year. Sure, initially usage would 
spike but after the novelty wears off less people than now will 
actually smoke it, just like in Amsterdam. I think I should be able 
to put whatever I want in my body as long as it doesn't hurt anyone but me.

might do to you.)
