COLORADO'S EXPERIENCE ARGUES FOR LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

It's commendable that some Republican candidates support 
decriminalizing the relatively safe, extremely popular and God-given 
plant cannabis (marijuana), but it should be completely re-legalized 
("Marijuana measure sponsors must resubmit petition after using old 
law," Page B3, Feb. 12).

Responsible adults should not be caged or punished in any way for 
using a substance that has proven safer than alcohol.

Colorado re-legalized cannabis, and every subsequent poll indicates 
voters continue supporting the end of cannabis prohibition. A sane or 
moral argument to perpetuate cannabis prohibition doesn't exist.
