IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY BY LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

Posted September 30th, 2009 by hiwayhowie
As a retired police detective, I can only add one item to David Rollins’ excellent analysis of marijuana prohibition; namely public safety would be much improved and enhanced, if we legalize, regulate and tax marijuana.Every hour street cops search cars for a baggie of pot means fewer deadly DUIs are caught.  When detectives fly around in helicopters looking for a garden, they are not arresting child molesters, etc.

Please tell your politicians it is past time to end marijuana prohibition.  Allow my profession to get back to our original mission: Public safety.
