Greg Pound on the Patch Podium: Shaping Drug Laws

Each of the Pinellas County sheriff candidates took a moment on the Patch Podium to explain — in his own words — what the sheriff's role should be in shaping laws for prescription pain pills and other "legal highs."

Each week, we're asking each of the Pinellas County sheriff candidates a question that's important to you, the voter, so you can be informed come ballot time.

This week, we asked:

  • What role should the Sheriff's Office have in shaping legislation related to prescription medication abuse and "legal highs" such as herbal incenses (i.e., K2, Spice and bath salts)?
