Re "Bid to legalize pot use nears ballot," March 24

Legalize pot? Why not? Present policies don't solve problems -- and
crooks, small and large, pick up the profits.

But placing restrictions on sales would mean less control and sales
tax for the state, with the profits going elsewhere. And where would
that be? Some equivalent of liquor stores, liquor distributors, liquor
manufacturers?

Instead, let's be pragmatic and set up state stores on the order of
"package stores." That would make regulation easier and give the state
the full profits.

I'd definitely vote for that.
