DON'T LEGALIZE POT

I am disgusted that a parent (Eric J. Andersen, Oct. 1 Pulse) would support
legalization of marijuana, whether he would allow his 14-year-old daughter
to use it or not. Legalization of the drug is not a good idea. The argument
that it's OK as long as it is government-regulated is moot. If kids are
doing it now, while it's completely illegal, what would stop them from
breaking the regulations?

I am an 18-year-old high school student, and I see kids who smoke
marijuana. It takes ever-increasing amounts for them to get high, and
eventually the marijuana is not enough.

If adults are so concerned about kids, adults should get involved. Do not
expect the government to be parents for you. Know what your child is doing,
instead of using the law as a baby-sitter.
