David Walker on Drugs

Decriminalize marijuana use; differentiate from hard drugs

Q: What is your opinion on the statement, "Drug use is immoral: enforce laws against it"?

A: We need to understand there's a substantive difference between serious drugs and marijuana. And our laws need to be adjusted accordingly. Selling illegal drugs is immoral--absolutely and positively. Using drugs is a different issue. I would not legalize hard drugs. I would not legalize marijuana but would change the enforcement provisions to no jail time for just marijuana use.
