And if the weed is more potent, one will smoke less to get the desired effect - just as a beer drinker who switches to liquor lowers his volume consumption.

You describe normal users and drinkers. Trouble is, many are addicted to alcohol and other drugs and would not lower volume of consumption. I have no problem with people using any of this stuff...I do have a problem with people getting hooked, which too often ends costing taxpayers a bundle in medical care.

I'm pleased to see you note the existence of normal users. Too many on FR seem to think ALL pot users are filthy Occupy derelicts.

Maybe not - but preventing addicts from getting even more thoroughly wasted than they already do is not even close to worth perpetuating the War on Marijuana's hyperinflating marijuana profits and channeling those profits into criminal hands.

I have no problem with people using any of this stuff...

Good to hear. It's none of my business nor yours if they do.

I do have a problem with people getting hooked

Which increased potency will in no way encourage.
