To The Editor:
Larry Seguin ( letter: Legalize Pot, April 27, 2008 ), got an arrow splitting bulls-eye exposing the cost detriment of the Luciferous prohibition of cannabis ( marijuana ).
Additional benefits of re-legalizing the plant include allowing free American farmers to cultivate hemp, which will help America's fuel needs and is more cost and environmentally efficient than using corn. Even Community Chinese farmers grow hemp. Re-legalizing cannabis also adds credibility to any war on drugs and helps youth resist honest hard drugs, lowering addiction rates in America. It surely would dispatch police back to serving and protecting citizens more. In fact if we consider all the problems associated with cannabis prohibition, it makes intelligent life wonder why it took so long to end one of the biggest policy failures of American history.
