Marijuana advocate: If marijuana were legalized in this state, the state could start assessing tax on the drug, increasing state revenues. Since sales would be legal, the criminal culture supporting the drug would vanish; as crimes ceased, the state would save money on fighting crime. Overall, the state has a tremendous amount to gain by making the drug legal. Attorney General: Studies of legalizing previously illegal drugs in other countries suggests that criminals controlling the business will not be eager either to sacrifice their profits or to play by the rules. Moreover, diverting money from crime-fighting after such legalization gives those criminals more free rein. The Attorney General uses which of the following techniques in responding to the marijuana advocate? ["pointing out that the conclusion doesn't follow properly from the premises", 'calling into question the validity of the evidence cited', 'suggesting, by analogy, potential drawbacks that might outweigh the predicted advantages', 'arguing that the same evidence could be used to prove an opposing conclusion']
