I think there’s a lot of people in jail on drug charges that are not bad people, that don’t pose a risk to society. I think there’s a lot of money spent to do this that, frankly, we can’t afford to spend anymore. I think that the HUGE profit motive and lack of regulation causes very bad people to prey on young and vulnerable people.

I don’t really see anything good that comes out of the current approach - do you?

First of all, I believe it's a canard that loads of people are in jail for simple possession.

But let me ask you. Do you think there would be NO negative effects if cocaine, heroin, LSD, etc were legal?
