Officer Barszczewski makes an argument for continuing marijuana
prohibition that is as dishonest as it is incorrect.

No advocate of legalizing marijuana would claim marijuana is harmless,
rather they would say that isn't a valid criteria.  What he's not
telling you is that it is important to his career that he retains the
right to arrest you, rifle through your possessions and lock you in a
steel cage.
