Tend to agree although you don't need tobacco for cannabis smoking. The thing that the expert seems to be forgetting that the A B C system is meant to help courts decide sentences, not as a guide for which drugs are safer than others, personally I want all drug dealers to be dealt with harshly.
I mean what is he really saying, we have a problem with 2 legal substances, lets compound that by watering down punishments for others?
