WITH LEGAL POT, EVERYONE WINS

Re "Dispensing profit," June 17

Whether you approve of marijuana use or not, and whether you believe 
it has medicinal uses or not, selling marijuana is one of the few 
growth areas in our economy. Still, we refuse to tap into this 
potentially huge tax revenue resource.

We would rather cut funding for our schools, public safety and 
infrastructure than tax something that is being grown, bought and 
sold every day.

Are we crazy?
