A POLICY OF PROHIBITION
You say that cannabis used to be a benign substance, which a policy
of prohibition has spent 30-odd years trying to eradicate. This
programme of eradication has, according to you, resulted in a new and
massively more damaging version of the drug coming into existence.
How, then, do you conclude that prohibition is the right policy when
clearly it has created the very problem you now seek to highlight?
