JUST SAY YES
Pot shots Brian Bergman's thoughts on how to approach cannabis were on
target ("Just say 'yes,'" Essay, March 3). Should police spend their time
chasing marijuana, when drunk drivers are 10,000 times more dangerous than
the average user? In my 15 years as a police officer, I handled some 2,000
accidents, not one of which involved a "stoned" driver. I never went to one
call for service generated by the use of cannabis. Cannabis is not a
societal problem and rarely a personal one.
