OF COURSE THEY SHOULD BE LEGAL

YOU RESPONDED to Mike Plylar's excellent letter (Sept. 7) opposing 
marijuana prohibition with, "Using your dubious logic, cocaine should be 
legal too." Of course cocaine should be legal, along with heroin, ecstasy 
and all of the other banned drugs. The state has no more right to tell us 
what we may not ingest than to tell us what we may not read.
