HOLES IN A POT ARGUMENT

One wishes The Times could find a better opinion in opposition to
legalization of marijuana than Sabet's snarky assertion that the
proposal does not pass the "giggle test."

What are the actual costs of enforcing these laws? Why does the writer
assume that imprisoning pot dealers is good policy? What about the
lives ruined in prison that might have been productive?

All we know for sure is that the enforcement industry to which he owes
his livelihood would have to shrink.

Who needs to read The Times to get fed an unworthy rant from a guy
with a credential? I think you could have found a more worthy
proponent of the viewpoint.
