Re: Another war victim

I agree that the drug laws need changed.  It is unfortunate that this 
man turned to marijuana to "cope," but in doing so he knew the 
consequenses of his actions.  That is the reality of the situation, 
as I see it.  

I'm guessing that you're going to catch a lot of flack over your 
post.  Mainly, because of the profession that this man had chosen -- 
law enforcement.  If you are given a charge of upholding the law, and 
you then break the very same laws you are attempting to uphold, you 
cannot be effective.
