Marcia Squier: Legalize pot, give addicts treatment, end war on drugs

I would work to end the failed "war on drugs", decriminalizing illicit drug use and retroactively legalizing cannabis. I would introduce guaranteed healthcare for all, including mental health, hospitalization/rehabilitation for drug addiction, and cannabis prescription coverage. I would hold opioid producers criminally responsible for their crimes against humanity in the name of profit.
