SHOW OUR CHILDREN IT'S A FREE COUNTRY

I write in response to New Jersey Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini's 
guest opinion "Legalizing marijuana would send the wrong message to 
kids" (May 13).

I'd like readers to consider what message we send to children when we 
allow tobacco, alcohol and a long list of potentially unhealthy foods 
to be legally sold to adults.

A free country's government cannot protect adult citizens from 
themselves and a free country's government has no right attempting to do so.
