Taba PUT LEGALIZATION OF POT ON BALLOT Tracy Ryan, chair of the Libertarian Party of Hawaii, points out that our state should put the legalization of marijuana issue to the process of referendum, submitting a legislative measure to the voters for approval or rejection ("It's time to legalize marijuana and reap its many benefits," Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Jan. 29). Our Legislature is too spineless to address this issue at hand, so voters of Hawaii must themselves decide by establishing an initiative, putting this question to the democratic test. Stuart N.
