MARIJUANA WOULD STILL BE REGULATED

Marblehead - I'm writing about Edward Friedman's not-so-thoughtful 
letter, "Legalization not needed," (above). No mention was made as to 
why Friedman wants marijuana to remain completely unregulated, 
untaxed and controlled by criminal gangs - just like alcohol was when 
it was illegal.

Just because a product is legal does not mean that there are no 
regulations as to when and where it can be used. We have lots of 
restrictions as to when and where alcohol and tobacco products can be used.
