WISE UP, LEGALIZE

This is concerning your Nov. 19 editorial, "Petoskey changes tactics in war
on drugs, alcohol."

The change in tactics looks almost credible to me, until I see that the
adults of the community have sold themselves short by continuing to support
the prohibition for adults. If the rights of the adults in the community
are not upheld, the welfare of the children matters not a whit. The rights
of the adults to make their free choices is due all Americans. The children
will mature into adults and make their choices. The cannabis prohibition
treats adults as infants, unable to make a choice, or as slaves, under
control. The prohibition can lead only to resentment and revolt.

Wise up America, legalize.
