Tough U.S. Marijuana Laws Have Proved A Flop
Robert Sharpe | Vancouver Province | 11/24/2005

Columnist John Martin of the University College of the Fraser Valley warns readers not to fall for the "tough penalties don't deter" myth.

He claims marijuana grow-ops aren't a problem in Washington state because of mandatory minimum prison sentences.

But the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration lists Washington among the leading U.S. states for indoor grow-ops.

Mandatory minimums have given the former land of the free the dubious distinction of the highest incarceration rate in the world. But they haven't stopped marijuana grow-ops.

Consumers aren't deterred by zero-tolerance either.

Based on findings that criminal records are inappropriate as health interventions and ineffective as deterrents, a majority of European Union countries have decriminalized marijuana.

Despite marijuana prohibition and perhaps because of forbidden-fruit appeal, lifetime use of marijuana is higher in the U.S. than any European country.

Perhaps Mr. Martin should rethink that myth.

Robert Sharpe,

Arlington, Va.

The marijuana laws do exactly what they are suppose to do, and then some.
