POT FRIENDLY POLITICS

Editor -- Thanks for your editorial ``Reefer Foolishness'' (October 16).
Pot is a lot more user friendly than government.

When I vote, why should I have to choose from candidates who would suppress
my right to own firearms, my wife's right to reproductive choice, or
anybody's right to ingest naturally occurring substances of their own
choosing?

I've been a Libertarian since I was born. Every other political party
proposes you join them in taking something from others. Thus, complicit,
you must submit when they come for you.

There is another way. Haven't you had it up to here with adversarians?
