YOU CAN LEGALIZE POT OR YOU CAN LEAVE IT TO THE CARTELS TO SUPPLY

Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk and Maricopa County Attorney Bill 
Montgomery object to the legalization of marijuana. The war against 
black-market marijuana has admittedly failed. Pot is popular, easily 
available, in the schools and people are driving under its influence.

Yet, can we honestly claim illegal marijuana is more harmful than 
that which is legal? Granted, appearances are sometimes deceiving. 
Shouldn't the county attorneys, however, be obligated to tell you and 
me if they prefer marijuana be marketed by the Mexican cartels?
