Legalization: Time to end the war on marijuana

This is an OpEd by by Bill Piper, the director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance. It gives all the arguments as to why drugs should be legalized, which is nothing new to those of us who agree. What is news is where this is published, on CNN!

Time to end the war on marijuana - CNN.com: "Prohibition doesn't stop drug use; it makes drug use more dangerous while filling prisons with nonviolent offenders and making crime lords rich. With marijuana use among young people rising despite decades of punitive drug policies, policymakers should reform U.S. drug policy. Or maybe voters will reform it for them." Sept. 28, 2010, OpEd by Bill Piper, the director of national affairs for the Drug Policy Alliance.
