We have (at least) two legal drugs that have caused enormous social problems:
alcohol and tobacco.  [ This is the classic argument against legalization of
marijuana and other "recreational" drugs ]

How does a society balance the wants of its citizens to use such substances
against the social harm they inevitably produce?  I certainly don't know.

Comments???
