Nationwide, nearly a million teens are employed in selling drugs and they carry guns. Every day kids are shot and shot dead because of their "employment." Moreover, pedophiles are not caught as often as possible, since detectives and narcotics officers spend tens of thousands of hours searching and arresting over a green plant. I agree with Bernard K. Logan (letter to the editor, Jan. 26) that marijuana is no play toy. It should be given the same rules and respect as beer. We are a thin blue line, Mr. Logan. Do we protect our teens from pedophiles or go after adults using marijuana? HOWARD J. WOOLDRIDGE Albany - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
