MARIJUANA ARRESTS BURN TAX DOLLARS

I think spending our limited tax dollars to arrest people for marijuana
possession is a fine idea. I don't care how many children have to go
without textbooks. State troopers will just have to live without a pay
raise, and taxes will have to be increased to pay for more prisons.

Intolerance is how we know we are good people. Otherwise, we are just
promoting personal responsibility and making people accountable for their
own poor decisions. We certainly can't have that.

When the state of Maine started writing tickets instead of arresting
people, enforcing the marijuana laws started generating revenue rather than
expense. How much sense does that make?
