That really depends on how low you go.

If you are hankering for some whiskey, diluting it to the strength of beer or wine simply won't do. That said, there is good reason to avoid things twice that strong because folks die that way.

And I think similar care should be taken with stuff that is illegal. I'd not be too happy with half-strength pot, for example, but others might be. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want a strong cocaine (if that were my fancy, that is) nor do I necessarily want a hit of lsd that is doubled in strength (one can take two, after all).

The thing is this: If you go too low, folks will just buy the black market stuff anyway as that will seem like legalisation in name only. If you go too high, folks get in trouble.
