Author: Steven S. Epstein PUFFING AWAY IN PEACE Only those yet to realize that marijuana prohibition is ineffectual and unreasonable think the topic of ending it is controversial ("Senate boss to put pot on front burner," Jan. 23). What is controversial about destroying the black market for marijuana? It would make it harder for the under-aged to obtain pot, while allowing adults to enjoy it in peace and pursue their individual happiness as they might when it comes to buying (or making) beer and wine. In addition it would conserve our limited law enforcement resources. Steven S. Epstein, Georgetown - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
