WAR ON DRUGS BECOMES 'WASTE OF TIME'

Go Ahead, Regulate It

If U.S. drug czar John Walters thinks marijuana is so harmful, why does he
want it to remain completely unregulated, untaxed and controlled by
criminal gangs ("Marijuana policy just right," Opposing view)?

Only legal products of any kind can be regulated, taxed and controlled by
any government.

Regarding the so-called high potency of today's marijuana, in my view, if
we smoked the world's most potent marijuana all day long, the worst effect
would be a severe case of the munchies. On the other hand, drinking more
than 80 cups of caffeinated coffee in one day could result in a lethal dose
of caffeine.

Perhaps we should criminalize coffee instead of marijuana.
