Thanks so much for what you're doing. I think drug legalization is hugely important and that the end of prohibition would help alleviate a great deal of issues in American society.
Most people I talk to are pro-marijuana legalization, but when I bring up the subject of legalizing all drugs, people tend to scoff and parrot various Drug War propaganda. Do you have suggestions for talking points when communicating with folks who are steeped in Drug War propaganda, who may have never studied drugs and their actual effects, and who perhaps consider taking drugs to be a moral issue rather than a health issue, thus justifying in their minds their illegality?
Also, what can one do on an individual level to help legalize drugs?
