DATA ON MARIJUANA TREATMENT PRESENT A DISTORTED PICTURE
Marijuana's increasing potency is no surprise. Under alcohol
prohibition, the strength of liquors rose rapidly and deaths due to
alcohol poisoning went up 400%. If government officials and
researchers are truly concerned about the rising harm caused by more
potent marijuana, they should support legalization and sell safer,
more regulated versions of the drug.
