CONSIDERING THE COST OF MARIJUANA PROHIBITION

Re: "Ballot effort cost a bundle," March 1 news story.

Considering how much cannabis (marijuana) prohibition costs citizens 
of Colorado, both monetarily and otherwise, the cost of ending one of 
America's worst policy failures in history is a deal at any price. 
And that cost is being paid for by people who are simply tired of 
being discriminated against.

If The Denver Post printed an honest, thorough cost analysis of 
cannabis prohibition's real price tag, it might even cause more 
Republicans to become active in ending the wasteful, expensive farce.
