NOT MUCH HARM IN MARIJUANA

Retired police detective Howard Wooldridge has a very compelling
reason for lifting marijuana and its community out of criminal conduct
["Pot is a distraction," Feb. 18].

As the letter suggests, marijuana is a distraction or, more so, a
pastime.

Intoxicants should not be judged by their effects, but by their threat
to the community. I think we find very little harm and tragedy
associated with marijuana.
