Taking Pot Seriously
Poulos takes me to task for calling drug Prohibition "deadly serious." Radley Balko defends me. After listing drug war victims he writes:
These are just some of the deaths associated with marijuana raids (all summarized, with sources, here). Then there is the domestic black market violence that comes with marijuana prohibition. And the unnecessary deaths of sick people (like Peter McWilliams) who might have lived if they’d had access to medical marijuana.
So yeah. I think “deadly serious” is about right, actually.
