Repeal Marijuana Laws!

In his letter of May 1, Altoona Police Chief John L. Gray gloats over the new paternal powers to jail marijuana users bestowed upon him by the 1999 session of the Iowa Legislature.
Gray boasts of the efforts of the police to take the place of parents through the DARE program. Never mind that U.S. Justice Department studies have found DARE to be ineffective, and that an Urbandale DARE officer used illegal drugs and a Norwalk drug-education officer has been charged with possessing illegal drugs. One thing Gray needs to understand. Many adults, like myself, have used a lot of marijuana, and we know it is not as dangerous as Gray makes it out to be. The most dangerous thing about marijuana is being arrested.The police-state mentality that says the law is always right never ceases to amaze me. History is full of examples of extremely bad laws that had to be repealed, and mariuana laws are one of the best examples.Carl E. Olsen,1116 E.

legalazation
    the legalazation of marijuana would solve so many problems the US has today, fist of all the us gov can make much higher quality buds and sell it legally in stores for much cheaper than illeagal dealers charge for natures gift. now its no secret that the us gov has great business skills and knows how to make money, they could drive most illeagal dealers out of business, better product at a low cost always wins in business. the US would only benefit

In this area they are more interested in fines. The bibber the bust the more the fine. If you can pay the fine you can have probation, if you can't you'll have to turn in something bigger than your bust, then get a job, then pay your fine. If you can't pay your fine or turn someone else in.....ONLY then do you go to jail.I believe in a legal system. I'm not aganst all types of law enforcement we have to have them maybe. The Corupt system is what fails us. I used to think that legalazation and taxation MIGHT work. Think of all the money they can't keep track of going in the coruption of drug laws...why would they legalize it when they would have a harder time getting their grubby paws on tax money?
