jmac, (edited ) Interesting and troubling snapshot of the state of drug laws in the U.S. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/10/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-keith-humphreys.html
As a society we have pushed back on the racist carceral system of the old War on Drugs, and good riddance. But I do remember how we were supposed to replace it with a regulatory system like we have on alcohol. Instead we... did nothing, leading to vacuum-filling libertarian failure modes like the west coast's open-air fentanyl crisis and my own city's churn of sketchy, unlicensed weed stores.
