There's no good reason to continue this madness called the War on Drugs.
It's over. It's like trying to stop water flowing with your hands.
This thing of ruining lives for simple possession is insanity.
The arguments made to keep it going is about as specious as those made for various gun control measures. Articles like this one only reinforce how lost this position is now. It also points to why more and more traditional media is being pushed aside. People have access to information now and it can easily be researched whether an article is full of it or not. Seems like the writers and editors of these publications haven't kept up with this new reality.
Though there are fair concerns about the health risk they pose (and I do feel being a pothead is problematic) but the reality is users are mostly non-violent. Which begs the question, why should we incarcerate these people? I know plenty of users, while I question their responsibility, they hardly deserve to go to prison for a choice they freely make.
The bottom line is on both counts - drugs, gun control - there's hardly a justification for it.
Ironically, the defenders of the war on drugs are addicted to their own opium: Control.
Oh, the futility of it all.
