LEGALIZING POT ISN'T THE ANSWER

I agree with Calvin Barr that the war on drugs is a tough one, but
legalizing pot isn't the answer. There is currently no plan in place for
laws on the effects of pot and driving or how cops can monitor it and
penalize drivers under the influence. There's also the possibility of more
users. If it becomes legal, with even a percentage moving onto stronger
drugs, higher demand would further exacerbate other parts of the drug trade
and crimes associated with it. That those four policemen gave their lives
is a horrid thing, but a knee-jerk reaction from the feds could make things
worse.
