I’ve just put some vegetable soup on the burner (yes, I am a vegetarian, but that’s another topic) and have 20 minutes until things are cooked. ‘Thought I’d use this time to put down some thoughts on current American Drug Policy. Basically, it is irrational and counterproductive. The government has no business telling people what to do in the privacy of their own homes as long as no third party gets hurt. That’s true for the bedroom, the living room and the front porch.
For a rational discussion and alternate approach to public drug policy see the current cover story of Foreign Policy. We need a rational approach to drug policy that is consistent with the reality as we find it, not as we wish it to be.
Now I guess my veggie soup is ready….no hemp in it, don’t worry.
