COLORADO SHOULD LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

As I read, "Pot backers could get question on 2012 ballot" on Dec. 28,
I'm excited for Colorado's future. Cannabis (marijuana) prohibition is
one of America's worst policy failures in history and Colorado may
become the first state to end the ignorance.

A sane or rational argument to perpetuate cannabis prohibition doesn't
exist. Cannabis prohibition causes increased hard-drug addiction
rates, crime, corruption, erosion of human rights, contempt for laws,
etc. and does nothing productive. Nothing.

A Montana news article (Study: States that legalized medical pot see
decrease in traffic fatalities, beer sales, Dec. 28, 2011, The
Missoulian), even indicates cannabis prohibition may be responsible for
thousands of traffic deaths through out the country.

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