THE POT PROBLEM

When a few criminals engage in illegal behavior - here, homicides
related to the illegal diversion of marijuana from medical use to
street use - it does not constitute the hijacking of an entire program.

When doctors write inappropriate prescriptions, or when patients
themselves improperly seek prescriptions for medications, Baca doesn't
say that the pharmaceutical industry had been hijacked by criminals.

It's not the industry that's the problem; it's the people who try to
take advantage of it.
