If the Economist of all things is parroting this now, it's bound to happen.
- jhbadger 4y agoWhy "of all things"? The Economist has always been in favor of free trade -- why not of drugs?
- slothtrop 4y agoThe Economist has always been among the most status-quo / neo-liberal publications. They've supported "free trade" in one capacity i.e. globalization, but have not always supported legalization of narcotics (they appear to have been for years, but it's been around far longer, since 1843).
- slavik81 4y agoThe Economist has been consistently in favour of drug legalization for decades. For one example of many, see "The Case for Legalization" from July 2001. https://archive.ph/bVsdn https://archive.ph/bVsdn
