1. Consider the following statement: Legalizing the recreational use of marijuana is a good idea because the majority of Canadians think it should be legal. If consumers are allowed to legally buy the product, this will also reduce the involvement of organized crime in the marijuana business. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Explain your reasoning.

2. Use the three-step model presented in the chapter to analyze the issue of whether the use of marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes is ethical. In your analysis, indicate what each of the four common ethical norms (utility, rights, justice, and caring) would imply about the use of the three drugs. After performing your analysis, do you feel that it is ethical to use any of these products? Explain your reasoning.
