LEGALIZE USE OF MARIJUANA

Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the U.S. ["Should
Marijuana Users Just Be Ticketed?" Nov. 1]

Fact is, cannabis is a God-given plant, not a drug. Government has
been pushing the discredited prohibition, persecution and
extermination of cannabis so long, people have stopped seeing the plant.

Acknowledge cannabis as described on the very first page of the
Bible, completely legalize the plant and most every problem
associated with cannabis prohibition will dissolve. Except of course,
the police union will continue griping that officers would lose the
overtime they earn from going to court on pot cases.
