END POT PROHIBITION

Re "Is Obama in control?" (Editorial, Dec. 22):

When the last number of presidents have used cannabis (marijuana)
recreationally, there should be no question cannabis prohibition
should automatically be terminated, especially since roughly 70
percent of Americans support it. Roughly 50 percent of Americans
support-and that number is increasing-legalizing and regulating
cannabis because it is one of America's worst policy failures in
history. Cannabis prohibition is perpetuated exactly because President
Obama is in control. If citizens were in control, cannabis
prohibition, persecution, discrimination and extermination would end
immediately.

Ending cannabis prohibition is one of the most important issues of our
time.
