FEDS NEED TO FIX MARIJUANA FOR GOOD

Re "Feds, lawsuits and legalization" by Ngaio Bealum (The 420, September 5):

The announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the 
Department of Justice's stand on Washington and Colorado's marijuana 
laws is good news. However, as long as marijuana remains a Schedule I 
drug, the feds can continue to shut down recreational-or 
medicinal-marijuana sources and arrest citizens for possession and 
use. The Controlled Substances Act must be modified. We must insist 
that our elected representatives concentrate their efforts on 
removing marijuana from Schedule I status.
