USING POT NOT A PROBLEM

Editor:

Re: Drug war failing, Editorial, Burnaby Now, June 12

Your words were a breath of fresh air to this retired police
officer.

Indeed, we could save hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives if we
focused on intoxicated drivers and not on someone using cannabis
responsibly in their own home.

Eighteen years of law enforcement experience and I never went to one
call for service generated by the use of cannabis.
