Re: “New lawsuit: Sheriffs from Colorado, elsewhere challenge Amendment 64,” March 6 news story.
I remember police saying 40 years ago that they don’t make the laws, they just enforce them, and if you don’t like the laws, change them. Now it seems a sheriff’s job description is to perpetuate cannabis prohibition.
Colorado citizens should ask themselves exactly what kind of person strives to go back to caging responsible adults for using the relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis.

This letter was published in the March 10 edition.As a former Texas police officer, I never saw marijuana cause any problems or disturbances. Alcohol continues to cause violence, death and destruction. The political ambitions and mean-spirited reactions against the freedom enacted in Colorado shows the heart of those who demand control of others.
May your state continue to support freedom and the will of the people, regardless of the outspoken Neanderthals in the surrounding states. In the pursuit of happiness, I will visit this spring and spend my vacation dollars there.
