CHIEF'S POT COMMENT OK
I applaud Police Chief Wayne Frechette for his pragmatic views on cannabis
use ("Flagrant Pot Use Would Lead To Arrests", July 23).
It is a waste of a police officer's time to arrest cannabis users, a fact
that Chief Frechette is well aware of. And he knows that the "gateway
theory" - long since disproven by medical science but still believed by many
government officials - is bunk. Good for him!
Now if we could just get some of that pragmatism into the politicians...
