'DOPEY' DRIVERS EASY TO FIND

Editor:

Re: Time to unleash responsibility, March 18 letters.

This letter is prompted by a letter written by Barbara E. Allen, in 
which she mentions the recreational marijuana users that frequent the 
parking lots on the waterfront.

I have often wondered how these people can be allowed to sit in their 
cars and smoke pot. One would assume they would then be driving home 
or elsewhere once they have finished their "smoke".

Is driving under the influence of marijuana not illegal? Why are the 
police and bylaw enforcement not doing a better job of monitoring 
this situation and penalizing the offenders?

It's not like it's that hard to detect that pot is being used what 
with the smell and, in some cases, the very visible smoke inside and 
outside the vehicle.

Let's put an end to this "dopey" behaviour.
