Hi Carl - I’m curious what your book has to say about marijuana. The blurb on amazon doesn’t give me a clear idea, although it seems you probably lean towards the idea that drugs prohibition (the “war on drugs”) is an abysmal, inhumane failure. At the very least we should take the same steps Portugal has taken and decriminalize possession of everything, IMO. The wave of marijuana legalizations across various states is a good start (Jeff Sessions is a step back), but I think we should go much further than that.. but, I also don’t have a whole lot of faith (any) in modern corporatist oligarchies like the USA and Russia (and just about every nation state on the earth)… It appears you’re a black dude from your website (african-american if you prefer), so I imagine the racist asshole James A. Donald has nothing nice or relevant to say…. but I’ll let Donald speak for himself. thanks! John
