To the Editor:

Dear Measure B supporters,

We received your mailing. We applaud your bold truth telling in a community seized by greed. When our then 18-year-old announced he was tired of doing manual labor for $8 an hour and was going to take up marijuana cultivation we had to resort to our parent's old standby: "Over our dead bodies!"

We have just one concern. Can't young adults, preteens and grade school children still get high on the easily accessible marijuana that the state limits provide? In a community where cigarettes and alcohol are still controlled substances, why are we stopping at the eradication of commercial grows? Can't we figure out a way to protect our youth while providing medical marijuana to those who need it? Protecting our water supply would be wise too!
