JUST SAY NO

I agree with the writer of 'Don't legalize pot' (Your Views, Sept. 
7). The writer posed two great questions. Why legalize the smoking of 
drugs and create a further burden on the health care system of 
America? And with the MADD folks doing all they can to stop drunken 
drivA-ing, why promote a nation full of mindless people wanting to 
drive while being legally high?

My questions are: Will driver's licenses now need to be issued with 
an identifier such as 'Pot Smoker'? And should these folks also need 
to pay higher insurance premiums?

Legalizing pot opens the door to a host of problems most of us 
haven't even considered yet. Just say no!
