IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY BY LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

As a retired police detective, I can only add one item to David
Rollins' excellent analysis of marijuana prohibition; namely public
safety would be much improved and enhanced, if we legalize, regulate
and tax marijuana.

Every hour street cops search cars for a baggie of pot means fewer
deadly DUIs are caught. When detectives fly around in helicopters
looking for a garden, they are not arresting child molesters, etc.

Please tell your politicians it is past time to end marijuana
prohibition. Allow my profession to get back to our original mission:
Public safety.
