NO PROBLEM WITH DENVER AS POT MECCA

Re: "Denver council hashes out pot issues; will city become next 
Amsterdam?" March 11 news story.

I don't see a problem with Denver being a mecca for pot users. The 
city will see increased revenues from the direct tax on marijuana, 
and travelers' expenses. The inevitable surge in Cheetos and Goldfish 
purchases could generate billions of tax dollars.

The argument of increased crime due to marijuana has been repeatedly 
proven false by dispensaries.

So I say to Denver: Respect the voters and enjoy the monopoly while 
you have it. It won't last; Americans are quickly coming to their 
senses on this issue.
