GAZETTE COLUMNIST RIGHT THAT SKY WON'T FALL IN AFTER MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

To the editor:

Columnist Bill Newman got a near arrow-splitting bull's eye and only 
narrowly missed it by using the word "drug" ("Last day nears in the 
war on at least one drug," Dec. 6) while referring to the God-given 
plant cannabis (marijuana).

Colorado re-legalized cannabis over a year ago and the sky hasn't 
fallen. In fact it is helping to keep the sky from falling in. It's a 
shame Massachusetts may have to wait three years for common sense.

A sane reason to cage responsible adults who use cannabis doesn't exist.
