“As I have written before, drug prohibition is (literally) ‘a textbook example of a policy with negative unintended consequences’ most visible in the extensive criminal underground and widespread violence associated with prohibition. What can we expect from legalization, and what could we expect from further liberalization of drug laws?  1.
Less Crime. 2.  Lower Demand for Hard Drugs Like Crack and Crystal Meth. 3.
A ‘Peace Dividend’ From Scaling Back the Drug War.  Yesterday’s results are historic because the results in Colorado and Washington show that ending prohibition can win at the ballot box.”
