IN DEFENSE OF LEGALIZING MARIJUANA IN COLO.

It seems to me that the proposed Colorado marijuana initiative is
about the right to choose: the right of adult citizens to choose for
themselves what goes into their own bodies, in the privacy of their
own homes, without the threat of the state government arresting them
for doing so. If you are going to keep marijuana as a criminalized
substance because of its potential danger, then you should expect a
long list of potentially unhealthy foods also to be criminalized. For
our own good, of course. Perhaps our government should criminalize
many potentially dangerous activities such as skiing, skating and
snowboarding - for our own good, of course.
