DRIVING STONED - BUT SAFELY

Re: "Police chiefs seek pot money; Group urges more money for 
marijuana enforcement," March 6 news story.

Law enforcement authorities say they need more money for more 
training in order to spot people driving under the influence of marijuana.

It's not difficult to spot somebody driving under the influence of 
alcohol. If law enforcement cannot identify stoned drivers, then it's 
probably because stoned drivers don't drive aggressively and instead 
quietly and legally follow our driving laws.

Why do we need to spend more money to train police to ferret out 
people who are driving safely and within our speed limits?
