Why marijuana should be legal for adults
Opinion: War on drugs a trillion-dollar failure
.... Throughout my career as a clinical psychiatrist, I have seen lives
ruined by drugs like cocaine, painkillers and alcohol. I have also borne
witness to the devastation brought upon cannabis users -- almost never
by abuse of the drug, but by a justice system that chooses a
sledgehammer to kill a weed. ....
Opinion: The end of the war on marijuana
.... Forget the antiquated dogma and judge pot prohibition on its own merits.
If you still believe that cannabis should be illegal, then you must
logically support the criminalization of alcohol and tobacco, with
vigorous prosecution and even imprisonment of producers and consumers.
Does that sound ridiculous? Then you must conclude that the only
rational approach to cannabis is to legalize, regulate and tax it.
