A pretty bold statement that will be used as a reference in the crusade against the war on drugs.
The trend indicates this already. Colorado, California et al has already taken a step in this direction with legalization of marijuana.
Problem is, there is a generation who grew up with being taught the opposite which will take some time to change their minds.
- joesmo 12y agoI doubt most people of that generation will change their mind. Sad as it is, real change will come about as the generation dies off, something that has already started.
- toyg 12y agoTo be fair, the generation currently in power saw a lot of people getting "lost" in drugs during the heroine-friendly '70s. In a way, I can see how some of them could react by becoming more rigid in their approach to the issue.
- ac29 12y agoCalifornia didn't legalize marijuana (in fact it was voted against in 2010). The 2 US states are Colorado and Washington. Many other states have decriminalized or provide medical access, though: http://norml.org/states http://norml.org/states
