Bernd Debusmann on legalization
There's a post by influential Reuters columnist, blogger, and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Bernd Debusmann outlining the conspicuous watershed in public attitude and openness of drug policy debate and recapping the basic arguments.
True watersheds in public attitudes are rarely spotted at the time they take place but the phrase “tipping point” comes up more and more often in discussions on the “war on drugs”.
“Something has changed in the past few months,” says Bruce Mirken, of the Marijuana Policy Project, one of a network of 30 groups advocating the legalisation of the most widely-used illegal drug in the United States. “In the first three months of this year we’ve been invited to national cable news programs as often as in the entire year before.”
Bernd Debusmann also helped kick off the debate with a great pro-legalization article back in December ( DoseNation)
