What reasons does the DEA cite for keeping drugs such as marijuana illegal?
 
 

a. Legalization of marijuana has lead to an increase in addiction to other more
  dangerous drugs such as heroin in other countries.
  b. Legalization would not reduce the amount of crime because people do not
  commit violent crime when they are looking to pay for drugs; they commit
  violent crime when they are under the influence of drugs.
  c. Legalization would result in a significant increase in drug use and addiction.
  d. All of the above



Question 2

One argument commonly advanced for legalization is that alcohol is legal and yet
  alcohol is just as harmful as drugs. On what grounds does the DEA reject this
  argument?


 
 

a. Drugs are far more addictive than alcohol.
  b. Alcohol abuse exacts a tremendous toll on society; legalization of drugs
  would compound this toll.
  c. Approximately three out of every ten Americans will be injured in an alcoholrelated
  traffic accident; legalization of drugs will increase the number of
  people who are injured in traffic crashes.
  d. All of the above
