This study is badly flawed.

At least one half of USA adults who commit suicide are addicted to alcohol and-or recreational drugs.

Marijuana is a gateway drug - just like wine and beer are gateway drugs.

If marijuana is banned, a large percentage of teenagers will just switch to wine and beer.

If marijuana is banned because of addiction risk, then wine and beer need to be banned, too.

A fallacious argument that happens to be true.

IIRC here in Illinois we pay more tax on a gallon of gasoline (~$.55) than a gallon of beer(~$.50).
Tax it until homebrew takes over!

Makes sense. Too much sense. We can’t have that.
