Pot Still Bad

According to the Illinois Sheriffs Association, or at least the two representatives quoted here. I found this quote especially bemusing:

From small carries to large distributions, local law enforcement make hundreds of cannabis-related arrests each year and plan to continue the fight to keep marijuana off the streets.

"I'm against it," said Perry County Sheriff Keith Kellerman. "They're going to continue to use drugs, so why legalize it?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe if we legalized it, we could have some more control over who has access to it, the same way we do with alcohol and cigarettes? Wonder what would happen to county income if the fines from those hundreds of yearly arrests went away?
