LETTER: Don’t make it easier for Las Vegas pot shops

Sen. Jacky Rosen wants roadblocks removed so more cannabis retail shops can open in Nevada. She is concerned about the health and safety of all Nevadans — is that correct? Marijuana (cannabis) is not too addictive, like alcohol, right?

I have known people so addicted to cannabis that at times they had momentary blackouts and didn’t know where they were before coming back to reality. When you are driving, is it comforting to know that the vehicle to your right, to the left, or behind you or in front of you may be controlled by someone who is under the influence of cannabis (or alcohol)?

But Jacky Rosen is looking out for our safety.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.
