LEGALIZE, REGULATE, TAX
As a retired police detective, I heartily agree with the proponents
cited in community columnist John Ridley's Dec. 21 column that we
should legalize, regulate and tax marijuana. My street experience
showed that marijuana, though certainly no play toy of a drug, is
much, much safer than alcohol for both the user and those around him.
My profession - the thin blue line - is getting much thinner all
across Wisconsin. Do you want us to keep wasting time on a green
plant? We are missing child predators even now.
