Pot is going to be legalized this year or in the near future. People must come to the realization that this is going to happen. We can meet some of the needs lacking in our society by legalizing pot and earmarking the taxes for the homeless, infrastructure improvements, the mentally ill and other social issues. To save hundreds of hours trying to battle this inevitable issue and thousands of dollars fighting the legalization of pot, why not support the legalization of pot now and save the taxpayer money and undue stress in the battle? There has been a failed war on drugs in this country for decades, making the cost of drugs exorbitant. The dealers will not be able to charge the users outlandish prices if pot is legalized; consequently, the supply and demand will be somewhat curtailed. Again, let's save time and money by legalizing pot. Lois Eisenberg Valencia - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
