LETTER: Experience shows marijuana use doesn't generate violence
---
During my 18 years of police service, I was sent to zero calls for
service generated by the use of marijuana. With all due respect to my
colleague, Const. Jay Hutton, his statement about marijuana being linked
to violence is a deliberate non-truth bordering on perjury.
It is irresponsible for a police professional to mislead the paper and
the public with such a statement. Shame on you!
Mr. Barth was correct in his letter. The prohibition of cannabis causes
a great deal of violence, corruption and death. The solution is to
legalize, regulate and tax cannabis. It ain't rocket science.
