RE-LEGALIZE MARIJUANA NOW

To the editor,

I strongly disagree with The Daily Telegram's editorial which
acknowledged legalizing cannabis (marijuana) would be the right thing
to do but then said not to do it because it was against federal law
and couldn't work. ("Our View: Petition to legalize marijuana in
state won't solve problem," Jan. 15)

Alcohol prohibition's example indicates the best route is for states
to lead the way. Millions of citizens are tired of waiting on
Congress or the federal government to do what's right. Michigan
residents have the support of citizens all across North America to
RE-legalize the extremely popular, God-given plant. The Daily
Telegram should be fully supportive in ending one of America's worst
policy failures in history.

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