DEBATE MISSES POINT

Dear Editor,

Mr. Hager and Stutman both left out the most vital reason to repeal
marijuana prohibition; namely it reduces public safety.

Every hour my colleagues spend chasing a Michael Phelps and his
supplier mean less time for the deadly reckless and DUI.

As detectives fly around in helicopters looking for green weeds, they
are not catching child molesters and rapists.

Public safety suffers as we chase the adult marijuana smoker into
their home.

The Hager/Stutman dog and pony show has been going on for years to
help those gentlemen earn a living, not really inform the public.
