POT EDITORIAL OFF BASE
Regarding Friday's editorial opposing Proposition 203, "Dealing with
drugs": The cost of the Department of Public Safety distributing medical
marijuana to a few hundred people pales in comparison to the cost of
arresting, booking, and housing the thousands arrested each year for
possession of marijuana. Instead of having DPS officers wasting time on
petty arrests, let them spend their time on more serious crimes.
