GP sounds more like a call for decriminalization and harm reduction than outright legalization.
There is a difference.
EDIT: And in response to your shadow edit: no, we can't. A significant factor in the abuse of drugs — and marijuana in particular, given its relative harmlessness — is their very illegality. The forbidden fruit seems to be far more tempting.
- sliverstorm 12y agoMade the edit before I saw your reply, apologies.. Maybe you're right, maybe its legal status is the only thing about pot that really matters, but it's such a multidimensional issue I hate seeing the conversation home in on legalization/decriminalization every time. A change in legal status will not solve all its problems (else why does alcohol have problems?), and we have just read an essay which spends very few words even talking about legal status, which I think supports my point that there are so many other important angles to talk about.
