Mark Kleiman is guest posting over at Ta-Nehisi Coates' place, and he has a list of reforms we should make to American drug policy. I want to highlight the first two:
1. Leave heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine illegal for non-medical use.
2. Allow use of cannabis, and growing for personal use or gratis distribution. Forbid commercial activity.
I think most people who casually want marijuana legalized imagine a future where it is sold for commercial distribution. Kleiman has a good argument for why that shouldn't happen, though, and this blog post is mostly just an attempt to get him to blog about it.
