Marijuana isn't the problem. I couldn't agree more with the letter's intent. As much as drug smugglers who transport cocaine and heroin through international waters and are intercepted by both US and international forces, our open shorelines (particularly on the North side of STT) remain a haven for transshipment to the mainland both via sea and air.
