HE'S NOT AGAINST MARIJUANA, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BREATHE IT IN

In response to the article "Treasurer looks for limits on legal 
marijuana" (Page A1, April 21), I'd like to say that I am not opposed 
to legalizing marijuana per se. I did vote for legalizing medical 
marijuana. However, I have a right to breathe clean air while on the street.

Today I object to having to breathe cigarette smoke from others. If a 
measure to legalize marijuana should pass, I will have to also 
breathe marijuana smoke. I hope my right to breathe fresh air in 
public places is protected and enforced.
