MARIJUANA HIGHLIGHTS DRUG WAR FLAWS

To the editor:

It was encouraging to read the Review-Journal's Monday editorial ("No
drugs or guns? You're busted anyway"), calling out one of America's
worst policy failures in history. Hopefully, the Review-Journal has a
positive editorial when it's Nevada's turn to fully legalize the
God-given plant cannabis (marijuana), since cannabis prohibition props
up the discredited war on drugs.

Colorado legalized marijuana more than a year ago, and the sky isn't
falling in. A sane argument to cage responsible adults who choose to
use cannabis doesn't exist.
