MARIJUANA

Staff Sergeant Chuck Doucette states, "Marijuana combines the two largest
killers -- alcohol and tobacco -- together in one drug." (Re: B.C.'s
'Prince of Pot,' Aug. 7).

He may have been speaking on the topic of the black market implications of
marijuana to organized crime, but it begs the question: If alcohol and
tobacco are the two largest killers, then why is all the energy focused on
marijuana? I would ask the officer when was the last time he had to pick
someone off the sidewalk on a Saturday night, inebriated with a half-smoked
joint sticking out of their mouth?
