Pot decrim is indeed a common sense idea, esp. now that our Southern neighbors are coming around to it. But it shouldn't be the headline policy of the LPoC or any LPoC candidate. It should be outlined in a footnote on page 150 of the some new version of the Red Book. Right now the federal Liberals have exactly one policy and it has nothing to do with jobs jobs jobs. Painfully easy to caricature.
That is all.

ReplyDeleteThe thing about pot decriminalization is that it's not really about pot decriminalization; it's really about civil liberties. The war on drugs (pardon me, the War on Drugs) was launched by the reactionary right wing (read Reagan) as a successful assault on civil liberties, and esp. the civil liberties of brown people.
