REGULATE, TAX AND CONTROL

I'm writing about the letter from Bill Kushniryk claiming that pot is
somehow a gateway substance to hard drugs. I wonder if Kushniryk or
any other readers have ever been offered a free bottle of whiskey,
rum or vodka when they buy beer or wine? I haven't, either. However,
I was offered free samples of cocaine, heroin and meth from marijuana
sellers. This would never happen in a regulated market because the
marijuana vendors could lose their licenses. Regulate, tax and
control the sale of marijuana and we close the so-called gateway to hard drugs.
