FLYING AROUND IN SEARCH OF WEED IS A WASTE

Re: "Another marijuana field found near GP border," Wednesday Metro.

I have no idea what it costs the taxpayers to fly a helicopter around
all day looking for marijuana, which most feel should be
decriminalized anyway. I'm sure the expense of this aerial assault
would go a long way toward funding the needs of the extra police
officers needed to patrol our streets to be able to respond to our
burglar alarms.

As recreational drugs, all proven less harmful than alcohol, become
harder and harder to get, they'll become more expensive, resulting in
even more crime. The biggest crime is such a blatant waste of our tax
dollars in attacking a problem most don't even consider to be a problem.
