MARIJUANA IS THE LESSER OF THE TWO DRUG EVILS

The Green Harvest policy has done exactly what it was supposed to have 
done: It limited the amount of marijuana available and drove prices 
sky-high. It also had a bad side effect: a rise in the number of people 
using crystal meth or "ice."

The rise in the use of ice goes hand-in-hand with Green Harvest. If 
marijuana is not available, then people will find a drug that is.

There are two evils here. If society must choose between them, it is clear 
that marijuana is the lesser of two evils.
