POT PANNED

Dear Editor:

Am I reading this correctly? The government is actually considering
legalizing pot?

What about all the negative research about second-hand smoke and the huge
campaign to stamp out smoking?

Smoke is smoke, smoking is smoking. Or is this the way the government is
going to replace major lost tax revenue from cigarettes? Sell pot and tax
it to death now that cigarettes are banned.

How can the government possibly consider these as two separate issues? Wake
up and smell the coffee! Or should I say smoke?
