TIME HAS COME TO LEGALIZE ALL USES OF MARIJUANA

RE: "Legalized pot up for vote" in New Hampshire, (Portsmouth Herald,
Dec. 31, 2013). It's about time the entire country re-legalize the
relatively safe God-given plant cannabis (marijuana). Colorado ended
cannabis prohibition a year ago and the sky hasn't fallen in.

Cannabis prohibition is responsible for increased hard drug addiction
rates, contempt for drug laws, eroded constitutional rights, escalated
prison populations, corrupt politicians, race discrimination, wasting
trillions of dollars, prohibiting free American farmers from growing
hemp (even though communist Chinese farmers grow it), and is one of
America's worst policy failures in history. Ending cannabis
prohibition is one of the most important issues of our time.

A sane argument to continue cannabis prohibition doesn't
exist.
