PROTECTION FROM THE POLICE

Thanks for printing Jim Flynn's detailed analyses ("Marijuana laws
rife with complexities, Nov. 13) on how medical use of cannabis
(marijuana) works in Colorado.

Hopefully, when cannabis is finally legalized (and it will be
legalized) the problems associated with Amendment 20 will be
alleviated. The whole use of Amendment 20 to allow citizens to use
the relatively safe, God-given plant for medical reasons exists only
because the plant is prohibited.

Legalizing cannabis will likely mean citizens who wish to use the
superplant for medical purposes will not need to pay extortion money
to government for protection from police.
