LEGALIZED POT IS ABOUT FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Regrading Mike Gimbel's recent letter ("Say no to legalized pot," 
Jan. 12), the issue is not whether cannabis is completely safe for 
everybody but rather freedom of choice for adults.

One in 13 children suffer from food allergies, yet we have not 
criminalized food. Children have died from eating peanuts, but we 
don't cage peanut growers, sellers or consumers.

The voters of Colorado and Washington state have decided we should 
not cage cannabis growers, sellers or consumers. I submit that the 
rest of the nation should follow their example.
