Incoherent view

Regarding “Prop. 64: Legalizes adult recreational use of marijuana” (Insight, Sept. 25): In her dissenting view, countering The Chronicle’s support for Proposition 64, which legalizes adult recreational use of marijuana, chair of the Law and Legislative Committee of the California Police Chiefs Association Jennifer Tejada presented conflicting opinions of marijuana’s effect on public health.

First, she says “I value and support the regulated use of medical marijuana and the benefits it brings to patients.” At the end of the article she asks, “...why would we add something that will further affect our public health and safety resources?” By contradicting each other, these statements demonstrate that Tejada lacks a coherent view of the effects of the passage of Prop. 64.
