HORRIBLE WASTE OF GOOD POLICE TIME
As a police professional I urge Justice Minister Martin Cauchon to consider
the serious reduction in public safety caused by cannabis prohibition in
Canada. Every hour spent by police looking for and busting for cannabis, is
an hour not spent looking for robbers, rapists and drunk drivers. Except
for medical reasons, using cannabis is a poor choice. It is the combination
of smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer, all bad choices. Forcing us in
law enforcement to chase after it is a horrible waste of good police time.
