Smoking pot can pay off

Just think of the money a higher fine would bring in.

Dear Sir:

In answer to the letter to the editor that Bob Erb posted just recently, I just had to reply.

Yes they did legalize booze, and look at the problems it has caused ever since.

The cost of liquor related problems has been enormous, both in money and deaths and health cost.

Now you want to legalize pot, creating more health and injury problems.

So instead of making it legal, every time a person is caught with any they be fined $100 the first time, $200 the second  so on so on.

Laws have been passed outlawing smoking.

So now they only would have to pass a law legalizing pot, but they would also have to rescind the smoking laws.

Just think of the money a higher fine would bring in and would cut down on the problems that pot causes now.
