The entire marijuana legalization argument in a nutshell.
Hey, drug warriors, this is the National Review talking here. Not some hippy-dippy special interest group. Come on in and tell us how this guy just wants pot to be legal so he can smoke it. Tell us how marijuana is so evil and pernicious that we need to shred the Bill or Rights to keep it out of people's hands, when any objective observer can see that it's no worse than alcohol or tobacco.
Tell us why one of the most prominent conservative publications in the world believes that keeping marijuana illegal is stupid, pointless, damaging, and wasteful, but nevertheless is wrong while you and your jack-booted DEA thugs are right. I'm waiting to hear it.
Wow one whole article probably tucked away down in the bottom of a web page or in the back of the print edition.
This is actually Doug Bandow talking, and I can't help it if he praises the same court(9th circus) that gives foreign combatants, the right to see lawyers.
JMO, but the people on the 9th circus are smoking the stuff that Mr. Bandow is swooning over and we see the results.
Maybe things are different where you live, and that is entirely up to the good people in your state to set their own standards, but here in California there has hardly been an arrest for simple possession of marijuana ever since Governor Moonbeam signed decriminalization legislation almost 30 years ago.
