NO RIGHT TO PROHIBIT

Dear Editor:

Re: Is pot the way to go for Canadians? June 11

There is a big difference between the social acceptability of a drug
and its legal status.

The truth is that the state has no right to prohibit ANY drug, no
matter what its social acceptability, i.e. popularity, is.
