POT IS A DISTRACTION
As a retired police detective, I certainly agree with Richard Moter's
thoughtful letter ["Legalization of marijuana is no joke," Feb. 12].
Every hour we chase the Michael Phelpses and the Willie Nelsons of the
Commonwealth, we have less time for the deadly reckless and DUI
drivers, and less time for catching child molesters and other public
safety threats.
My profession needs to return to its original purpose: public
safety.
If you have a problem with marijuana, alcohol, or cigarettes, see a
doctor for treatment. The Thin Blue Line has much more important tasks.
