LEGALIZE POT!

Did Police Chief Roger Chaffin ("Not Sure Society Needs Another Drug" 
Nov. 18, 2015) just arrive in North America? Society is not preparing 
to add "another drug" for citizens to use but rather, re-legalizing a 
relatively safe, God-given plant, which is being used by millions of 
North Americans daily. A plant that should never have been prohibited 
from the beginning. And challenges to law enforcement? Ending 
cannabis prohibition will be easier, not more difficult to enforce. 
In fact, re-legalizing the plant will likely put some law enforcement 
jobs in jeopardy; is that Chaffin's real concern? Nothing changes 
with drivers who are too impaired to operate a motor vehicle; it's 
illegal now, it will be illegal after ending the cannabis prohibition 
farce. It's time to eliminate cannabis prohibitionist's "voice at the 
table." Especially those who have been profiting off the injustice.
