(Oct. 9) clarifies another strong argument for legalizing marijuana in California. It is time for these Pacific Coast drug cartels to stop poisoning our forests and killing our wildlife. The Pacific fisher has lived along the Pacific coast for thousands of years and now faces extinction as a result of illegal marijuana farms in public forests spreading deadly rodenticides to kill pests that might ruin their plants. Legalize marijuana and destructive behavior will end. Gloria Judd, San Francisco - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
