The special substance.

To the Editor:
In “A Case Against Marijuana,” by David Leonhardt (Opinion Today newsletter, July 20), we’re told that more marijuana research is needed. Here’s all the research you need: Marijuana use in America has been widespread for over 50 years. If there were any alarming social or health effects, we’d know by now.
There’s no justification for America’s draconian marijuana laws. Marijuana as a societal ill, when measured against alcohol, tobacco, sugar, guns, driving, climate change, Donald Trump and fast food, comes out looking like a breath of fresh air. Although you may eat more fast food.
