Bellevue Reporter, 26 Oct 2012 – We’ve waged a war on drugs for decades. Sometimes the battle is worth it. That’s not the case with marijuana. Voters should vote "yes" on Initiative 502 and license and regulate it instead. The illegality of marijuana doesn’t mean it’s not available. Far from it. It is grown extensively and is readily available to those who want it. But, because it’s "illegal," we waste millions of law-enforcement dollars trying to eradicate it, money that would be better spent stopping violent crime. It also means marijuana use is uncontrolled – and untaxed – by government.
