WILL PROP. 64 IMPROVE STATE?

Re "Bumper crop of pot cash" (Insight, Aug. 30): I think Foon Rhee is 
dead on target when he writes that "California's marijuana market is 
projected to mushroom from $2.7 billion in 2015 to $6.5 billion by 
2020 if recreational pot becomes legal," and "a lot of people are 
poised to make a lot of money."

Whenever I'm deciding whether to vote "yes" or "no" on a particular 
proposition, I always ask myself in what way the passage or defeat of 
that proposition will improve the life, socially and economically, of 
the average California citizen. I emphasize the word "improve."

 From what I've read and understand, passage of Proposition 64 will 
does neither. It is as Rhee writes: A lot of people are poised to 
make a lot of money. Vote No on Proposition 64.
