MARIJUANA LAWS A 'CASH COW'

As a Michigan police officer, marijuana use generated zero calls for
service during my 18 years on the street. The fact is marijuana
prohibition is a cash cow for law enforcement in terms of job security
and an excellent way to earn overtime (going to court for pot cases).

My colleague Chief Rohmer's support for continued prohibition is
curious. He knows that every hour his officers spend searching for and
arresting an adult using pot in their own homes means less time for
the deadly DUI, child molesters etc. No question that pot prohibition
reduces public safety.
