TO FIGHT CRIME, DECRIMINALIZE POT

Editor, Times-Dispatch: According to an article from the Times of London:
"In the first year after the British government downgraded marijuana to a
class-C drug, arrests for posession fell by 36 percent, saving up to
199,000 police hours without any rise in consumption among young people."

Gosh, maybe we could actually do something about real crime, too, if the
police had more time . . . .
