Jay: you and I agree that driving under the influence of anything should be illegal, and that jail and license suspension and or revocation should attach. I feel the same way about driving while stoned-it's idiocy; I'm sure we agree on other things, too.

I believe in harm reduction as a philosophy. That means that I acknowledge that people will always use mind altering substances. I would prefer that in doing so, that they use the least harmful substance; and I believe the numbers show that pot is the lesser of the harms. I don't see pot as a panacea; it's just another substance. I never drink alcohol and only use marijuana when the pain of a broken back becomes intolerable-because I refuse to use narcotic pain killers, either.

By the way, thank you for the arrests: you undoubtedly saved many lives by your work.
