Everyone has choices in this life

| November 27, 2012 6:00 AM

Colorado not only made the stuff legal and is setting up a distribution system to include that it’s OK to grow three plants.

Looks to me they got rid of a huge law enforcement problem.

How blind can we be to make something illegal when the population wants the stuff, just like alcohol many years ago.

If there is a market and money to be made, the current Idaho problem will never go away.

I realize there are many police and lawyers involved with the court system that will probably be eliminated.

Under age folks can currently buy illegal drugs plus booze and didn’t our just reelected president use the stuff and smoke too?

It’s not like everyone goes over the hill when pot is made legal according to the Colorado system.

As long as Washington state does not allow anyone to grow a plant, they still need a busy court system plus lots of jobs for enforcement.

Very little will have changed

Me; I have never smoked a cigarette and am 81 years old. I have never seen a pot plant either.

I know, it’s bad for our health and so is smoking, alcohol and being fat.

We have choices in this life.
