Legalizing Drugs Now is Just Common Sense

I stand firmly on the side of drug legalization.

because I think the drug war is, well, stupid. 

the drug war is inane and a waste of energy, money and resources we cannot afford

Drug production, sales and use should either be illegal, universally punished, or legal - across the board.

legalization is the answer to much of our difficulties - tax revenues from pot alone would exceed California’s budget shortfall.  The combination of freeing California drug offenders and legalizing pot would essentially fix California’s present crisis. 

The only choice is legalization - the question is when.
