Drug addiction is 100% self inflicted with the exception of children born from drug addict mothers.
I have no mercy in my heart for those dumb enough to get involved with drugs.
Let them rot from the poison of their choice.
Definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully harm reduction and legalization of marijuana, at the very least moving pot from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3, will be next. Remember it took a great deal of baby steps and a groundswell of public opinion to get rid of Prohibition entirely.

I concur! This may not be full on legalization but this opens the doors for States that want to go that route such as Cali and Mass
makes me wonder if he got the letter and took it to heart.
Stamper was the police chief in Seattle immediately before Kerilowske, so his opinion would have some influence.
