EDITORIAL WRITER MUST BE HIGH TO MAKE THOSE ARGUMENTS

The Sentinel & Enterprise should get an award for the most inaccurate
and backward-thinking editorial ("Colorado's new high not for
Massachusetts," Jan. 5) regarding Colorado relegalizing cannabis
(marijuana).

We haven't "made it easier for cartels." The cartels hate regulation
and thrive without it. Make no mistake, people know what they're
getting. There is no medical "prescription" necessary or available;
$25 per ounce doesn't exist within Colorado borders. All the
bureaucratic expense will be paid for by cannabis-store fees and the
high taxes paid when citizens purchase cannabis.

Does the Sentinel & Enterprise really believe underage people have had
any trouble acquiring cannabis in the underground market in the last
eight decades? A sane or moral argument to continue caging responsible
adults for using the God-given plant (see the first page of the Bible)
doesn't exist.
