LEGALIZED POT WORKING WELL IN COLORADO

As a Colorado resident, I believe the writer of the letter "Christie 
right to oppose legalization of pot" (June 20) is seriously mistaken 
in the claim, "One need only look at the chaos ensuing in Colorado 
since its legalization of marijuana..."

Rather than "chaos," Colorado is experiencing success. Cannabis 
(marijuana) prohibitionists have used lies, half-truths and 
propaganda for decades, and are not going to suddenly start telling the truth.

In fact, Colorado citizens heard it all before and voted to stop 
prohibitionists from harming our citizens any longer by re-legalizing 
the plant. Ending the vulgar practice of caging humans for using a 
relatively safe God-given plant isn't "chaos" but rather anti-chaos.

Further, since polls indicate over 50 percent of Americans support 
ending the farce, New Jersey would likely legalize cannabis also if 
it were put to a vote rather than decided by prohibitionist politicians.
