Ask US Anything!
Dear P & J, Why has the US Government not realized that the
criminalization-enforcement-incarceration model of marijuana policy is not
working? It seems the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, and many other European
countries have begun to see the light of common sense and are starting to
reform their marijuana laws. But Asa Hutchinson, head of the DEA, continues
to say that we need to fight the war on drugs by arresting non-violent drug
offenders and even medical marijuana patients. What's the deal? - Tom in
Warwick
Beats our meat, Tom, but isn't it interesting that Mr. Hutchinson's first
name is a palindrome, like "Lon Nol" of Cambodia. That's another place with
a lot of drugs and truly harsh anti-drug policies. Gets you thinking, huh?
