Letter to the Editor: Colorado responds to Rupert mayor

The fact is every subsequent poll indicates the majority of Colorado voters continue supporting the end of cannabis prohibition

Editor:

While Mayor Lee Brain is correct (In the Northern View article “This Bud’s Not For You” Jan. 18, 2017) pointing out regulators hadn’t anticipated cannabis (marijuana) edibles in Colorado, the regulatory committee worked diligently to regulate those products and update regulations.

Since re-legalizing, cannabis is a new industry. It’s reasonable to assume forcing government to regulate the plant comes with responsibilities that were previously left up to the black market.

The fact is every subsequent poll indicates the majority of Colorado voters continue supporting the end of cannabis prohibition.

There is every reason to believe when Canada regulates cannabis rather than forcing the black market to do it, the majority will have no regrets.
