Sanity in law enforcement

2012-10-09 16:09:53.492611+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Washington's King County Sheriff makes a case for marijuana legalization:

"With alcohol being highly regulated, we're able to have a more reasonable discussion about it, in societies and in our families," Strachan told The Seattle Times' Jonathan Martin, in announcing his support for the pot-legalization Initiative 502 on this fall's ballot.

With pot, "people are sort of winking at it," he said. "It lives in this kind of limbo — it's illegal, but also not." So we have created an "ambiguous, confusing message we're sending to our kids."
