Marijuana Laws

LEAVE THE STRATEGIZING TO THOSE IN THE KNOW

I have to chuckle a little, then shake my head in amazement at the 
letters sent in by people who think they know the drug world better 
than the people who work in it and fight against it, in this case 
Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek ("Lax marijuana enforcement puts 
us on a dangerous road," Sept. 18).

The folks who wrote in and explained how legalizing marijuana would 
cut down on crime (Readers Write, Sept. 20) reminded me of a street 
person going into a bakery and explaining how dough rises to the 
baker. Some people just don't have a clue and need to leave this area 
to the experts.
