POLICE RESOURCES WASTED

Once again police resources are wasted with surA-veillance cameras and
manpower and a net result of one arrest and one marijuana plant
confiscated.

We are not paying attention to the lessons learned (or not) from
Prohibition. The number of arrests for pot-related crimes is
mind-boggling. The war on drugs a colossal failure. Pot should be
legal and taxed like tobacco.
