To the Editor: The Valley Independent reported a police officer tested positive for drugs ("Mon City Cop Tests Positive For Drugs," March 25) but didn't report if it actually was "drugs" or the relatively safe God-given plant cannabis (marijuana) that is incorrectly but often referred to as a drug. Cannabis should not be illegal and if a cop may drink beer or wine after work they should be allowed to choose using cannabis, which is safer. Stan White Dillon, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
