“Mr Nadelmann’s focus remains on the harm done by needlessly, in his view, criminalising millions of people and handing so much money over to crooks. He stressed that the consequences of marijuana being illegal are far-reaching, from people losing their jobs to being denied organ transplants.  His opponent suggests that Mr Nadelmann is looking at the question of legalisation through the lens of the American experience which, he argues, distorts the picture. Mr McKeganey defines Mr Nadelmann’s position as one of radical individualism in which no government or religious authority should seek to exercise laws that restrict an individual’s right to consume any and every substance.”
