LEGAL POT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL

Re "Legalizing pot only for money" (Letters, April 15): I don't think 
many people can imagine a society where tobacco was illegal. People 
will find a way to smoke cigarettes whether it is legal or outright 
prohibited; the same is true for marijuana.

We must make sure that our children are protected from drug abuse, 
but that does not mean that government should get in the business of 
raising our children. Parents are ultimately responsible for teaching 
their children and monitoring their children's behavior. Legalizing 
marijuana will bring in much needed revenue to the state.
