HUMSTERDAM

Editor:

My name is Andrew Hedin and I have lived in SoHum my entire life. I
thought your article "When Weed is Legal" (April 2) was a very good
article, but I was interested to know if anyone has studied the
effects that legalization would have on Humboldt's tourism economy.
Would we not become somewhat of a new-age Amsterdam? We already have
the strongest brand name in the marijuana business. Wouldn't people
want to travel up here from the Bay Area and elsewhere to experience
the redwoods and the weed in a life-changing experience?

Just a thought that I haven't seen anyone else address
yet.
