GET THE MARIJUANA MONKEY OFF OF OUR BACKS
During my 18 years as a Michigan police officer I was dispatched to
zero calls generated by the use of marijuana. Whatever the science
says about what good or harm it does, it is a horrendous waste of good
police time chasing adult users and sellers. We have crimes which have
a real victim going unsolved because we spend so much time on pot.
Child porn comes to mind. Give marijuana roughly the same regulations
and restrictions as alcohol and tobacco. Get this monkey off our backs!
