POLICE MAKE MARIJUANA BUST -- BIG DEAL!

To the editor:

Can't the police find more important things to do than overvalue a small 
pot find. Seems the police love to enforce nonviolent crimes because 
there's less threat to themselves.

I wish I could pick and choose what I want to do in my job.

The only reason pot is a problem is because our government deemed it evil 
- -- which drives up the cost. As long as there is a large profit to be made 
from it, the criminal element will never go away. And our government can 
keep sucking your taxes to combat it.

I say ban hard liquor. Guess our drunken elected officials will never stand 
for that.
