A POLICY OF PROHIBITION

You say that cannabis used to be a benign substance, which a policy 
of prohibition has spent 30-odd years trying to eradicate. This 
programme of eradication has, according to you, resulted in a new and 
massively more damaging version of the drug coming into existence. 
How, then, do you conclude that prohibition is the right policy when 
clearly it has created the very problem you now seek to highlight?
