Ethan Nadelmann: We Hit A Drug Policy Tipping Point
    #19035340 - 10/26/13 11:57 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)



Quote:

Ethan Nadelmann, the Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance addressed 1000+ drug policy reformers from all over the world at the opening session of the International Drug Policy Reform Conference in Denver, Colorado.

Mr. Nadelmann pointed out that the world hit a drug policy tipping point, referring to major marijauana law reforms in the US and in Latin-America. He praised the Obama-administration for taking the lead in reforming the criminal justice system.

Mr. Nadelmann emphasized that America is truly exceptional. "Nobody in the history of democratic society has locked up fellow citizens in the way we do. Nobody has locked up black people the way we do. Nobody did these sorts of things. I am fighting so that America becomes average."




A little bit of positivism in the drug speech!

Ethan is quite nice to listen to :crazy:

Carl Sagan - "Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."

Robert Pirsig - "When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."

---

Brian Cox - "[One] problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion AND have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense."
