CONTROL IT LIKE TOBACCO
For those who think marijuana should remain illegal, perhaps we should make
drinking alcohol illegal too.
But that would lead to illegal "booze-ops" and a bottle of rye costing
$200. That, in turn, would lead to a lot more people breaking the law just
to have a rye on the rocks.
Marijuana should be legalized and controlled like tobacco.
We could tax it and use the money to educate people so they could make
informed decisions for themselves.
After all, we do live in a free country -- right?
