Great article on CNN by Harvard's senior lecturer in economics: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/24/miron.legalization.drugs/index.html
Dr Miron is very outspoken against the war on drugs. He compiled a pretty well known report in 2005 check it out at prohibitioncosts.org we need more well educated, well respected ppl to back legalization
Just reading some of these comments in response are depressing, I'm not sure whether these people are just horribly uniformed or they are trolls.
Lets not forget that more than 50% of the nation is against pot legalization. The number must be 60-90% againt ALL DRUGS. In fact, a few months ago I would have been against total legalization of everything because I didn't know anything about prohibition. It was only after I started looking into MJ laws that it became apparent. They are just horribly uninformed.
I'm headed up to Harvard in 2 weeks, gonna visit a friend that's a sophmore there. Should be a blast, hopefully I'll run into this guy.
