“What’s especially obnoxious about these conclusions is that they argue marijuana ‘damages lives’ but ignore the devastating effects of long-term incarceration on the individuals and families swept up for non-violent criminal violations into the West’s massive penal-industrial complex. There is plenty of evidence that prohibition doesn’t work and that the blight from those kinds of policies – as well as the individual and familial ruin – is considerably worse than the item being prohibited. Of course, the pharmaceutical companies that are doubtless supportive of ‘studies’ like this don’t care about the larger social costs.”
