MARIJUANA LAWS A CRAZY PATCHWORK

I wish to comment on House Bill 161, which would repeal the marijuana
law.

I was a school bus driver for 40 years. All drivers had to submit to
random alcohol and drug tests when law officials showed up. (That goes
for CDL drivers.) If you tested positive, you were fired.

If our legislators just choose to draw up a new law or rewrite the
present law, these people will just find another way to take advantage
of it as they would with the present law. I would also like to know
what law will law officials cite to prosecute these people. The
federal law that Montana's elected officials just thumb their nose at,
the new state law or the laws drawn up by about every town and city in
Montana from Anaconda to Zortman? Yup, we are crazy!
