Massachusetts worst in country for pot busts. [View all]

Turns out our Commonwealth cops are asleep on the job: Massachusetts ranks dead last among states in the arrest rate for marijuana posession.

It's grim.

We're last at 18 arrests per 100,000 residents. And we have a long, long way to go to even catch up with second-worst Hawaii, at 106.

Best in the country is, make no mistake, Wasington DC, at 846. Law and order, baby! NY is #2, at 535; the miscreants far above Cayuga's waters probably account for most of that number.

We should have known: electing that difficult woman to the Senate would shred the fabric which holds our society together. We must do better.

Regards,

Third-Way Manny
