Re "Should we tax pot?" Opinion, Dec. 4

Patt Morrison tells us that a Rand Corp. researcher estimates that if
pot were legal, 60% to 70% of the population would smoke it regularly,
as its addictive potential has supposedly been underestimated.

Yet pot is legal or decriminalized in some countries -- the
Netherlands, for example -- and rates of regular use in these
countries are lower than in the U.S., where pot is illegal. Was
Morrison high when she wrote this column?
