法律化のインド大麻が意味をなぜ成しているか

木曜日、2009年4月2日

ジョーKlein著 |

過去数年間の間、私は想像、ずっと赤ん坊ブームの生成のための最後の政治改革運動を隠している。 正義の道を始めた私達、人権のためにそしてベトナムの戦争、生命の出口の傾斜路に適切に高潔なアプローチを見つける必要性に対して行進する。 この場合、私は高潔な部分を文字通り意味する。 そしてそう、取り引き: ある特定の年齢の後で私達に薬剤を、与えなさいか。 、80言いなさいか。 すべての薬剤、私達がほしい薬剤。 代わりに、私達は私達の運転免許証を与える。 (私は意味したり、車輪の後ろの老いぼれた、solipsistic 90歳のブーマーの国家をこわがらせることがか。いかにあるか想像してもいい) 私達はあなたの生命と進むことを許可するか。 いずれにしても私達の退職の使われた支払をすることでであって下さい多く、か。 私達が私達のあらゆる痛みおよび還流について不平を言うのを聞かないで。 私達は意識の余りに使用中の探検の変えられた状態である。 私はキャンペーンのためのスローガンを有する: 「調子、つく、目を奪うよう」。は

想像、私は仮定する。 しかし、激烈のの下で経済恐慌の、国民の会話静かに始まった私達の薬剤の法律のirrationalityについて混乱させなさい。 それは州議会で、過酷なロックフェラーの薬剤の法律が検討のために上がるニューヨークのような入っている、; 他の州では、カリフォルニアからマサチューセッツへの、様々な形のマリファナのdecriminalizationは制定されている。 そしてそれはジムWebb上院議員およびArlenの幽霊が主要の刑務所改良する直接方針の薬剤刑を宣告に演説する、パッケージを提案した議会の床に達した。

またzeitgeistの転位のpuckish印がある。 数週間前に、ホワイトハウスは大統領が公衆が堤出した質問に答えるフォーラムを上演することにした; 92,000人は答えたか。 そして殆んどはマリファナの合法化と取りつかれていたようである。 「緑の仕事およびエネルギーについての2つの最も普及した質問は」、例えば、鍋についてあった。 大統領は流出を退去させたか。 適切に、私は推測するか。 オンラインで投票用紙詰まることとしておよび簡単のの合法化の質問退去させる: 「NO」。

これは深刻な方針の質問について、創造的に考えるように試みないで、反射的に反応するBarack Obamaの稀な例だった。 実際は彼は従来の抵抗が最小の経路を取っていた: マリファナの予想外の答えは予算の戦いおよびすべてのそれらの脱出から注意を転換するタブロイドの火事場風を進水させよう。 In fact, the default fate of any politician who publicly considers the legalization of marijuana is to be cast into the outer darkness. Such a person is assumed to be stoned all the time, unworthy of being taken seriously. Such a person would be lacerated by the assorted boozehounds and pill poppers of talk radio. The hypocrisy inherent in the American conversation about stimulants is staggering.

But there are big issues here, issues of economy and simple justice, especially on the sentencing side. As Webb pointed out in a cover story in Parade magazine, the U.S. is, by far, the most “criminal” country in the world, with 5% of the world’s population and 25% of its prisoners. We spend $68 billion per year on corrections, and one-third of those being corrected are serving time for nonviolent drug crimes. We spend about $150 billion on policing and courts, and 47.5% of all arrests are marijuana-related. That is an awful lot of money, most of it nonfederal, that could be spent on better schools or infrastructure ? or simply returned to the public.

At the same time, there is an enormous potential windfall in the taxation of marijuana. It is estimated that pot is the largest cash crop in California, with annual revenues approaching $14 billion. A 10% pot tax would yield $1.4 billion in California alone. And that’s probably a fraction of the revenues that would be available ? and of the economic impact, with thousands of new jobs in agriculture, packaging, marketing and advertising. A veritable marijuana economic-stimulus package!

So why not do it? There are serious moral arguments, both secular and religious. There are those who believe ? with some good reason ? that the accretion of legalized vices is debilitating, that we are a less virtuous society since gambling spilled out from Las Vegas to “riverboats” and state lotteries across the country. There is a medical argument, though not a very convincing one: alcohol is more dangerous in a variety of ways, including the tendency of some drunks to get violent. One could argue that the abuse of McDonald’s has a greater potential health-care cost than the abuse of marijuana. (Although it’s true that with legalization, those two might not be unrelated.) Obviously, marijuana can be abused. But the costs of criminalization have proved to be enormous, perhaps unsustainable. Would legalization be any worse?

In any case, the drug-reform discussion comes just at the right moment. We boomers are getting older every day. You’re not going to want us on the highways. Make us your best offer.
