You instantly focused on the uninteresting part of his argument. It seems clear to me that harm reduction is clearly a better policy then zero tolerance. We are not going to fix the smoking problem by banning it, just like we aren't going to stop people from drinking by banning it. People still smoke cigarettes. But it is better then it was, especially in the USA. This happened with heavy regulation, heavily advertised evidence of harm, and eventually social pressure making it "uncool" in most cases. Meanwhile, pot has been the target of a "war" that ruined far more lives with jail time them the drugs themselves would have, and it is more popular then ever. Holding on to failing idealism is just stupidity.
