LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: There is no legal pot industry

OPINION:

I believe that Matthew Adams is a little bit confused (“Congress can fix legal marijuana business banking problem,” Web, Nov. 14). He writes, “Businesses in the legal marijuana industry ” in one sentence and then follows it soon after with ” the federal government still has anti-cannabis laws on the books.” So in point of fact, according to federal law (the Controlled Substances Act), there is no “legal marijuana industry” — despite liberal efforts to confuse the American public on the issue.

People who are confused enough to believe there is a legal marijuana industry might also be confused enough to believe that there are legal “sanctuary cities.” Didn’t I read somewhere that marijuana use can cause mental confusion? Just sayin’.
