CANNABIS PROHIBITION REDUCES PUBLIC SAFETY

During my 18 years of police service in Michigan I was sent to zero
calls generated by the use of cannabis.  Thus, I heartily agree with
the analysis of Alan Middlemiss; namely, the RCMP going after two
marijuana plants will reduce public safety.  Those Mounties will be
missing a fair number of the deadly drunk drivers and will certainly
have less time to arrest those who hurt our children and women.

Cannabis prohibition reduces public safety, period.
