MARIJUANA PIECE LACKED REASONING, A GOOD SOLUTION

I have just read online the editorial from Tuesday, which contains
the following:

"In a state where prostitution is legal in certain counties, bars are
not required to close and children can legally possess and use
tobacco, objections to marijuana legalization on a moral basis seem
hypocritical."

This kind of reasoning is why our society has these issues in the
first place. That is akin to using the rationale that because there
aren't enough police to pull over every speeder on the highway, that
we should just let people speed.

Or, even close to the ideal that because we don't have enough Border
Patrol agents to arrest everyone who crosses the border illegally,
that we should just let everyone come in whenever and however they choose.

Rather than propagate your weak, morally-lacking drivel, perhaps you
could render a better solution.
