It would be interesting to read a scientific, statistical comparison of alcohol with pot, the pervasiveness of each in Canadian society and the harmful and addictive effects of each. It would also be interesting to compare the harmful and addictive effects of "hard" drugs such as heroin and cocaine versus pot. Even tobacco would make for an enlightening comparison. Finally, it would interest your readers to see a count of the articles printed about pot in The Province versus articles about alcohol or hard drugs.
