COPS KNOW POT NOT THE PROBLEM

During my 18 years of police service near Lansing, Mich., I went to
zero calls for service generated by the use of marijuana.

As I focused on the deadly threat of DUI drivers, too many of my
colleagues like Tom Gorman (editorial, Oct. 10) spent their shift
trying to find a baggie of marijuana.

Please end marijuana prohibition and allow my colleagues to focus on
DUI, child molesters and other public-safety threats.
