What is really needed in dealing with cannabis is a â€œtobacco momentâ€, as with cigarettes 50 years ago, when a majority of people became convinced that smoking might give them cancer and kill them.

Evan McLaren is correct that the question of legalizing drugs is a no-win situation for our side.

The relevant question is: What good does it do to keep non-violent users of drugs in prison? Does imprisonment do anything for them? Does it do anything for us? If so, what?
