TOO MUCH TIME SPENT ON MARIJUANA CASES

As a retired police officer from the Lansing area, I was saddened to
see my profession spend so much time on such a minor case as the one
involving Greg Francisco.

As drunken drivers kill innocents and evil men troll the Internet
trying to entice young teens to meet them, our profession spends
entirely too much time trying to catch adults in simple possession of
marijuana. Marijuana prohibition does reduce public safety.
