WHAT TO CONSIDER

There are two things to bear in mind when passing laws prohibiting
something: For any demand, there will always be a supply; and the
damage that something does to society must be balanced against the
damage done to society by attempting to prohibit it.

The war on drugs has been going on since 1914 without appreciable
positive result. One approach to solving the marijuana problem would
be to move it from schedule I (always prohibited) to schedule II
(available by prescription) and tell the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration to keep its nose out of doctors' business. This second
part would also allow doctors to prescribe appropriate levels of
medication to those with truly intractable pain.
