Experts weigh in on legalized marijuana

The NYT ran a large article today featuring opinions from experts on how public health will be affected if the marijuana laws change. An interesting read with some of the same tired arguments, but an interesting note from Norm Stamper, Seattle's former Chief of Police.

Any law disobeyed by more than 100 million Americans, the number who’ve tried marijuana at least once, is bad public policy. As a 34-year police veteran, I’ve seen how marijuana prohibition breeds disrespect for the law, and contempt for those who enforce it.

Yup.

that was always the most compelling argument, for me. it is obvious that when you make laws that are retarded people's respect for law (and the people who enforce it) is quickly eroded.
