This letter is in response to the letter, “Legal marijuana” in the Dec. 11 edition of the Daily Journal.
Have you ever heard of these nice places called Oregon and Colorado? Last I checked, the only thing that’s soared there following marijuana legalization is their economies.
When I went up in April, there were no destroyed families or gangs of hoodlums roaming the streets as you said there would be.
But for all I know, I just didn’t look hard enough. Or maybe you just watched “Reefer Madness” and thought it was a documentary.
Please get your mind out of the ’50s. Failing that, consider moving out of the Bay Area. Judging by your reaction to something this tame, we as a community may be just a smidge too liberal, thoughtful and progressive for your tastes.

There is nothing much progressive about getting stoned
