SENIORS HAVE STAKE IN POT ISSUE

The writer of the letter about being convinced about legalizing
marijuana really does not understand what is really necessary to grow
good bud.

Marijuana can be cultivated very well without using large amounts of
electricity or producing mould in the house. It is only those that are
producing large amounts of marijuana for illegal sale that have those
problems.

If the marijuana was legalized, us seniors could grow a few plants for
our own use and sell the excess to make a little extra cash on the
side to subsidize our shrinking pensions.

By legalizing marijuana, people would be able to grow their own
without fear of the law and those resources, now used to chase and
prosecute the law breakers, could be used for better protection of the
citizens of the country.
