Here we see the typical depth of drug warrior's arguments. It's still irresponsible. No, Housman, adult Americans wanting returned to them their traditional freedoms is much more responsible than your desire to rob Americans of their rights, and much more responsible than your desire to jail adults who responsibly use marijuana. Housman assures us that ever more adults must be criminalized. I don't buy it.
Children grow up.
Let's not steal their rights before they even become adults. Housman's right here. Not to mention a success for the prison industrial complex. But for the American people, it is oppression, plain and simple. The fact that the penalties are more draconian than at any prior point in US history would of course never weigh in on anyone's decision to honestly self-report their drug usage to the government.
