"Reefer madness is over, and 2/3 of voters know it. Congress is negligent. To declare war on a substance, whether it's cannabis or opioids, is to launch a costly and repeated attack on our legal institutions. The drug wars are the major contributor to mass incarceration, expanded sentences, asset forfeiture, and violent raids. Wars waged under "prohibition" lead to a dead-end street of police-state corruption and gang violence. The daily humiliation of peaceful users is a form of social corrosion that will take decades to fix. African-Americans have suffered disproportionately, and the legal system is obligated to correct this injustice." Link
