M. William Howard Jr. is 100 percent correct: Not only are marijuana laws discriminating and costly, they are stupid. Tobacco and alcohol, which are much more harmful, are perfectly legal. Think of the revenues the government would realize if marijuana were legalized and taxed. Pot has medical benefits. I know of none in liquor or cigarettes.
