Hey bro, like, whoa, wait, check this out. Some dude who has won two Pulitzer Prizes for his well-researched journalism is using decades of statistics, social studies, and logic, as well as the very loud voices of those involved in the drug war, to advocate for the legalization of marijuana. He is claiming that the ban on marijuana is as effective as prohibition, that it disproportionately targets minorities, and that we are essentially draining money from our cash-starved social services to finance a losing war on drugs while the only people who profit are those involved in the black market. Whoa. He must be totally stoned.
