DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA

As a retired detective, I support moving simple possession of
marijuana down to a parking ticket-level offense ("Zirkin, Kittleman
propose decriminalizing marijuana Jan. 21).

My active-duty colleagues will have more time for pedophiles, the
deadly drunk driver and other public safety threats. Most police
officers did not sign on for the job to chase a green plant.
