NEW LAWS TO STIR THE POT

All of the back and forth on the legalization of marijuana gives me
acute moral malaise. I am quite OK with medical marijuana for the
severely ill.

But there is no doubt the enhanced THC - the active ingredient - of
today's pot makes it addictive for many. Yes, alcohol has that
capability, too. But are people smoking pot for its fine, cask-aged
qualities? They are smoking it to get high. I just can't think
legalization will helps matters.
