ENDING POT PROHIBITION

Jonah Goldberg scored a lot of points in his column on marijuana
legalization ("States' rights going to pot," Jan. 6). However, his
referring to legalizing cannabis (marijuana) as "Colorado's collective
experiment" is a little backwards. The original prohibition on alcohol
is often known as the "Great Experiment." The sequel, cannabis
prohibition, has been another dismal experiment.

Ending cannabis prohibition isn't the experiment, it's simply ending
one of America's worst policy failures in history.
