GOING TO POT
If we start legalizing cannabis, and thus removing the legal and
social taboo to this drug, we will create a huge mess. Cannabis use
is under control so far because it is stigmatized in our society. If
we remove the stigma of cannabis as a narcotic, do we really think we
can have the same level of moral authority to prohibit other hard drugs?
