RE-LEGALIZE MARIJUANA
I'm writing about Ted Z. Manuel's thoughtful Aug. 4 letter "Legalizing
pot could help end cartel violence."
Of course, many drug war cheerleaders will claim that re-legalizing
pot will be giving in to the drug dealers and drug cartels.
When we re-legalized the drug alcohol in 1933, did we give in to the
alcohol cartels?
No. We put them out of business.
