re: #460 freetoken

I suspect that over the many years, and in the future this will be more clear, that including marijuana in the “War on Drugs” was a big social mistake.

Here in California with the “three strikes” laws, possession of a trivial amount of a common plant can send one into irreversible stigmatization.

Yes, agreed.
And the Rockefeller drug laws in New York State have wrecked thousands of lives.
Apparently NYC is the marijuana arrest capital of the world.
The War on Drugs was by almost any measure a colossal failure and I don’t even think we know all the societal consequences of it yet.
