As the executive director of the world's largest organization of police, judges and other criminal justice professionals who oppose the policy of drug prohibition, I want to disagree with letter writer Phillip Beebe ( Passing marijuana initiative would be a mistake - Aug. 6 ). The campaign to legalize marijuana in Nevada is smart business. Based on the combined experience of the cops and judges who make up our organization, there are few public policies more useless than using the criminal justice system as a hammer against people who elect to use marijuana.
One can be diligent with concerns about possible marijuana abuse without endorsing the most absurd waste of police resources imaginable - - that of arresting, processing and jailing adults who use marijuana. Our membership of over 5,000 believes it's time to end criminal prohibitions against adult consensual use of any drug, but especially marijuana. This need is even more urgent if one views pot as a dangerous drug. It is our opinion that risky and dangerous substances are best distributed in controlled and regulated settings. Such regulation is impossible under a system of criminal prohibition. Only prohibitionists endorse a drug distribution system that is controlled by street dealers. The cops and judges who make up our membership believe that regulation is preferable to Prohibition.
