WEIGH THE HARM

In regards to the article (The News, May 8) "Pot isn't necessarily
safe, says doc," ... neither is alcohol and cigarettes, but they are
legal.

Examine the harm and cost to society caused by these products. It
overwhelmingly exceeds that of pot. However, since it can be grown
easily it would be a somewhat difficult job to tax. Consequently,
keeping it illegal fosters a ridiculous sense of caring for society by
governments ... how inane.
