MARIJUANA PENALTIES SHOULD BE REDUCED

As a retired police officer, I fully support Rebecca Ogle's call in 
her Feb. 20 op-ed "Sensibility on cannabis" to reduce penalties for 
simple possession of marijuana on the campus. During my 18 years of 
service, I was dispatched to zero calls for service generated by the 
use of marijuana. What else does one need to know?
