TAXING DIFFERENCES

Re In Alberta, Worries Grow That Legal Pot Will Cultivate A Crime Wave
(Feb. 25): While reading Patrick White's excellent article, I laughed
out loud at Stan Swiatek's comment that he is antidrug, given his
smoke-filled office.

What does he think nicotine is? In the view of many, the only real
difference between nicotine, alcohol and marijuana is that two are
legal, licensed, and highly taxed, while the third hasn't got there
yet.
