LTE: Honorable stance on pot

Pot OK in The City

(Submitted to the San Francisco Examiner, 4 December 2001.)

Editors,

Congratulations to Mark Leno for his resolution requesting local officials not to cooperate with federal drug warriors prosecuting medicinal marijuana users. As another candidate for State Assembly in District 13, I now feel a little bit better about the possibility that he will win.

A similar state-wide proposal, requiring California District Attorneys to abide by Proposition 215, and denying cooperation to federal officials, is a key part of my Libertarian platform for office, "Legalize Love - Legalize Health - Legalize Work," along with a marriage equality act and a repeal of the state income tax.
