POT NOT SO BAD

Rebecca Graber's comments about cannabis ("The fragrant winds of change", 
September 23) were spot on. From a law enforcement standpoint, cannabis is 
not a societal problem. In my 15 years as a police officer I never went to 
one call for service generated by the use of cannabis. Canada and the US 
need to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis tomorrow. Let us get the police 
chasing drunk drivers and others who actually hurt someone else.
