ALL OVER AGAIN

After reading about crime after crime in the Times-Standard, I would
like to weigh in on a proposal about the pending Proposition 19
marijuana legalization initiative.

Recently, this paper handed the bully pulpit to some who are against
legalization. I am a simple man who uses this medicinal herb for an
eye condition, and the aforementioned opinions do not take into
consideration the people who need an alternative means of relief.

After prohibition, the government legalized and taxed liquor and took
the profits out of the industry. Well, duh. Yogi Berra Sr. said it
pretty well when he said, "It's deja vu all over again."
