Reagan Appointee Calls For Marijuana Legalization

Federal Judge Calls For Marijuana Legalization:
"The notion of using the criminal law as the primary means of dealing with a problem of addiction, of misuse, of ingesting dangerous drugs -- I don't think that's sensible at all," Posner said.

According to Posner, drug laws are "responsible for a high percentage of our prisoners. And these punishments are often very, very severe. It's all very expensive."
While I disagree with the notion that marijuana should be classified as a dangerous drug, I still appreciate the simultaneously rational and compassionate opinion of Judge Posner.

End the expensive drug war in Oregon. Vote YES on 80!
