POT'S A DISTRACTION
As a retired police officer, I heartily agree with PG columnist Tony
Norman ("Legalized Pot? Like Getting Bonged in the Head," July 13)
that marijuana should be treated like alcohol, i.e., legal, regulated
and taxed.
My profession will arrest more deadly DUIs and more child molesters
when we stop arresting 800,000 marijuana users and suppliers each
year. The police can once again focus on our original mission: public
safety.
