Medical marijuana advocates versus Chiefs Assoc.
States like Massachusetts, Colorado and Washington have either decriminalized marijuana or outright legalized it. Unfortunately for drug war supporters the sky has not fallen in these states. In fact in Colorado highway fatalities and serious crimes are down and the cops in Denver just got a raise, partially a result of the new revenue stream. But these days everyone has their own numbers and Florida police chiefs say that outlets like the Washington Post and The Crime Report are somehow fudging the numbers. Now Florida is poised to legalize medical marijuana as well. And that has created something of a war of words between medical marijuana advocates and law enforcement leaders.
