CRIMINALS GO FREE WHILE COPS CHASE POT GROWERS
As a police officer, I learned that marijuana prohibition dramatically
reduces our ability to detect and arrest the deadly DUI driver.
Police spend millions of hours arresting for simple possession. Mr.
(Jeff) Soplop's accurate comments ("What to do about the doobie: part
two," Nov. 15) unfortunately left out the most compelling reason to
end prohibition.
Thousands of lives will be saved each year, when my profession focuses
on the deadly DUI and reckless driver. If you have a problem with pot
or any drug, see a doctor.
