LEGALIZE AND REGULATE POT
It is unconscionable that you print an editorial about the link between
cannabis (and other drug) dealing and organized, often violent, crime
without acknowledging that the black market is a direct result of the laws
prohibiting this substance.
Every negative consequence you attribute to cannabis would disappear
overnight, if it were treated the same as alcohol or tobacco and sold in a
legal, regulated, taxed market.
