LEGALIZING MARIJUANA GOOD IDEA

To the Editor:

Well you folks in California sure have an "official" to be very proud
of. At long last a politician with honesty and guts. Legalizing drugs
will make one very important step in getting criminals out of the drug
trade. It is estimated every year more than $350 billion (untaxed)
goes to criminals. Removing black market profits will strangle gangs,
cartels and even the Taliban. If every state had a few of these kind
of guys, with common sense, honesty, courage and a new vision, this
country would be a thousand times richer and more secure. God love
that man, and pray some common sense rubs off on the rest of the crowd.
