<p>I agree with mimk6. I am not a big fan of draconian efforts to curb either marijuana or alcohol, but I don’t see marijuana as “better” in any way than alcohol. I fully believe that if it were as available and as cheap as alcohol, it would be just as destructive. And I would add that, precisely because it is illegal in most places, the distribution system for marijuana causes a great deal of social harm right now. I am not a user, but even if I were I would have a lot of trouble supporting the gangs and drug cartels that deliver the goods to us.</p>
