Reforming the marijuana laws would reduce more harm as well as promote more social peace in the United States. More than 10 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana violations since 1965, ruining countless lives and breaking up families as a result. For what good purpose?

By government design, the drug-policy-reform movement is dominated by unskilled amateur volunteers who invariably risk professional ostracism, if they have any career aspirations at all. Hence the movement is uniquely pressed by a lack of professional talent and mainstream funding. The people we need to run our movement are out there, waiting for the movement to gain a respectable, middle-of-the-road image — or to be paid to create and promote that image themselves. When the movement becomes more associated in the public’s mind with respectable-seeming, middle-of-the-road people with the professional talents capable of making our case persuasively, more money and more effort will be risked by others at every level.
