MARIJUANA PIECE LACKED REASONING, A GOOD SOLUTION

I have just read online the editorial from Tuesday, which contains 
the following:

"In a state where prostitution is legal in certain counties, bars are 
not required to close and children can legally possess and use 
tobacco, objections to marijuana legalization on a moral basis seem 
hypocritical."

This kind of reasoning is why our society has these issues in the 
first place.  That is akin to using the rationale that because there 
aren't enough police to pull over every speeder on the highway, that 
we should just let people speed.

Or, even close to the ideal that because we don't have enough Border 
Patrol agents to arrest everyone who crosses the border illegally, 
that we should just let everyone come in whenever and however they choose.

Rather than propagate your weak, morally-lacking drivel, perhaps you 
could render a better solution.
