POT A DANGER

Re: the July 1 opinion "How is keeping pot illegal worth $14B?"

Jim Kiser endorses Harvard economist Jeffrey A. Miron's study, which
suggests it would cost America $14 billion a year to keep people from
smoking marijuana.

Kiser also agrees with David Reiley, associate professor at the
University of Arizona, who asks, "Who would be harmed if another
individual consumes marijuana?" How about the drugged drivers on the
road; aren't they harmful?

The ruling dealt a blow to such drug legalization groups as the
Marijuana Policy Project. These groups have used the sick and dying
to advance their political agenda. They have failed and in
desperation would now like to dupe the taxpayers into fighting their
immoral battle.
