Legalizing marijuana is probably the best way to do away with its use. Think about it: Big Marijuana would be subject to the same regular hassles as Big Tobacco! Those weed dealers think they have it tough now? They think that rival dealers with guns are a pain? Try class-action lawsuits and campaign finance shakedowns.

"But commercial growing is outlawed, giving rise to a contradictory system in which shop owners have no legal way to purchase their best-selling product."

Well, duh! This just now occurred to them? None of the lawmakers way back when asked where the "coffee" shops were supposed to get their dope?

Typical "camel's nose" legislation -- initally introduce a publicly acceptable law, flawed and known to fail, then claim the law isn't working and adjust it to what was desired all along.
