SHOUSE MISSES THE POINT ON MARIJUANA

Editor:

On the contrary, Jerrold Shouse misses the obvious ("Is anybody 
surprised?" Eastern Arizona Courier, May 17, 2014). Turf wars are not a 
characteristic of the drug trade, but rather prohibition. The sequel is 
exactly like the original prohibition.

If there are turf wars over the relatively safe, extremely popular, 
God-given plant (see the first page of the Bible) cannabis (marijuana), 
it's solely due to cannabis prohibition. Although Shouse discounts 
Colorado, by re-legalizing cannabis, turf wars over plant sales will 
diminish.
