Editorial Question: What Is the Best Deterrent Against Illegal Drug Use?

MAKE CANNABIS LEGAL

Editor:

If you're talking about minors, alcohol is the most common and
dangerous illicit drug in common use. If you're talking about adults,
a nation with thriving alcohol and tobacco industries has no moral
authority to condemn cannabis use.

The best deterrent to the illegal use of cannabis is to legalize
it.
