Judge’s Plea for Legal Drugs Pleases Some, Irks Others
- Share via
Cheers for Judge James Gray for having the bravery to suggest legalizing drugs. The “war on drugs” is indeed lost; it has brought us overflowing prisons, the enmity of our neighbors in Central and South America, inner cities that are armed guerrilla camps and little else.
Legalization is certainly worth a try. We saw the light where prohibition of alcohol was concerned; it’s time to take another logical step.
