What an amazingly biased article. Marijuana is such a non-problem in terms of recreational intoxicants. Safer than alcohol, natural, and with proven medicinal qualities. The only problem stems from it's current 'illegal' status. The fact that Westword says nothing regarding the supreme WASTE of MONEY that such investigations and busts represent, and the possibility of increased state tax revenue from legalization is a shameful ommission. And all this for what end? A minor dent in the supply of pot? Prohibition didn't work in the early part of last century, and it's not working now. Yet Westword continues to play the patsy, pretending that it is a valid use of police resources to 'bust' such consensual "crimes" that result in no property damage, and no victims. You are working against freedom, truly, with your biased reporting and your unquestioned assumptions. Step up your game, "New Times", you've really fallen far from your agitational roots.
