THE POT PROBLEM

It isn't pot shops that lure crime, it's the fact that pot is illegal.
We only have to look at alcohol to see that prohibition inspires
crime. Is it not time to send the cops and robbers home and let adults
decide for themselves whether and what to drink, or smoke, in the
privacy of their homes?
