Re: "Enough with stories about pot," Jan. 1 letter to the editor.

NEWS COVERAGE OF POT LEGALIZATION

Letter-writer Joan Carlson complains about coverage of cannabis issues
on the front page: "[We] think legalizing recreational pot is a bad
idea .... [W]e don't care to know ... . Enough with the celebration of
pot!"

Regardless of one's political, social or recreational leanings,
cannabis legalization is inarguably the most prominent local story in
the past year. To bury it in The Post's back pages would be not only
ludicrous, but irresponsible.
