MARIJUANA LAWS ARE NOT A DETERRENT

I'm writing about Robert Sharpe's thoughtful July 3 letter,
"Marijuana laws have failed as a deterrent." I'd like to add that not
only do our marijuana laws fail to act as a deterrent, our marijuana
laws substantially increase the desire for marijuana -- especially
for young people.

The lure of the forbidden fruit is very powerful.

Why else do Americans use marijuana at twice the per capita rate of
the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands cannabis has been quasi legal for several decades.
