I-75 WOULD ALLOW POLICE TO FOCUS ON SERIOUS CRIME
Re "Weeding out city's initiative," you couldn't be more wrong and right in
the same editorial if you had tried. All we have to do is look at some
countries that already have a so-called "no look" policy and see that it
allows law enforcement to concentrate on more serious, violent and harmful
crimes.
Although medical marijuana was legalized in this state several years ago,
patients still are being persecuted by our justice system.
Where I agree 100 percent with you is where you said, " ... the national
war on drugs is misconceived, cold-hearted and, ultimately, unworkable." It
is this kind of initiative that will raise the level of education about
cannabis, which many of us hope and pray will bring an end to this
"misconceived, cold-hearted and, ultimately, unworkable drug war."
