KEEPING POT ILLEGAL EQUALS JOB SECURITY FOR POLICE

I feel a correction is needed to the May 1 story, "Medical marijuana 
plan set to advance in Minnesota Legislature." It seems to me Gov. 
Mark Dayton's office is not simply working with "law enforcement 
organizations" regarding the legalization of the medical use of 
cannabis (marijuana). Dayton seems to be attempting to appease their 
unions, too. Law enforcement agencies nationwide stand to lose jobs 
and job security as more states move toward the various facets of the 
inevitable end of cannabis prohibition.

While a sane or moral argument to continue cannabis prohibition 
doesn't exist, a self-serving greedy argument does.
