JUST THE FACTS
Re: The police aren't experts on drug use, July 13.
Thank you, Dan Gardner! I've been waiting for someone to point out
that the police are not health or science experts, and we should not
swallow as truth their so-called facts about marijuana.
The police should simply enforce laws instead of trying to influence
what the laws are, which they do with police association lobbyists
and regular press announcements aimed to scare the general public
about "the demon weed."
No more quoting police officers in the media when it comes to
marijuana use. Let's hear from qualified experts in the right field
of knowledge.
