Yes, but everyone knows the bad side of tobacco, gambling, and alcohol, and still we allow it.
I just think that criminalization and
incarceration is not working. I'm not suggesting crystal meth be sold at Wal-Mart, but for marijuana I'd rather see the same solutions we apply to alcohol. Prohibition isn't working. The crackdown on medical marijuana is an example of how ludicrous the system has become.
The $20-30 it costs to incarcerate someone could treat a larger number of out-patient addicts.
