“From the standpoint of ‘justice,’ the eventual reversal of tens of thousands of marijuana cases in the US can be seen as bolstering civil society. But it also raises serious questions and will have serious ramifications. Chief among these ramifications will be additional questioning about why marijuana was banned in the first place, and why people received prison sentences that blighted their lives – and the lives of their families. There was no Internet at the time to provoke a sustained debate about Prohibition – nor to examine the political realities behind the 1920s ban. Over time this examination will likely provoke a more intensive argument over the West’s state-oriented judicial system.”
