US MI: PUB LTE: Legalize Marijuana To Fight Riskier Drugs?

Detroit Free Press, 28 Jun 2012 – Once again, a knee-jerk reaction to the K2 problem by governments to ban these drugs will not work. The problem will become worse, and more people will die because of society’s short-sightedness in thinking that banning any drug will magically make people stop using it. The drug will be sold through dealers and gangs and not clerks asking for ID. I didn’t see one discussion or law passed that makes it mandatory to provide education in schools regarding the harmful effects or money provided to treat those who are hooked. High levels of sales tax per pack could have gone to fund anti-drug education and treatment programs.
