SCOTT WALKER IN 'REEFER MADNESS' REDUX

Dear Editor: Gov. Scott Walker's opinionating on the safety of marijuana
versus alcohol and embrace of the long-rejected gateway theory collides
sharply with changing public attitudes towards pot ("Scott Walker: Big
difference between having a beer and smoking marijuana").

While Wisconsinites may disagree politically, an overwhelming majority
supports medical use and a thin-but-growing margin supports taxing and
regulating adult use. Walker's "Reefer Madness" redux shows he is as
out of touch on pot as he is on other social issues gaining majority
support like gay marriage.
