If you would like to try recreational drugs, you don’t need the DEA. If you wouldn’t – you don’t need the DEA. It’s time to re-evaluate our approach to drug prohibition.
The government’s role should be to inform and protect, not to dominate and dictate. When laws like the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 go beyond mandating accurate labeling and instead criminalize individuals for making personal choices about what they consume or produce, we’ve crossed a dangerous line as Americans. Rather than providing a…
Recently, I was involved in a debate on Andrew Wilson’s debate group “The Crucible.” I lost, but learned a lot. Namely, not to become angry when my opponent resorts to ad-hominem attacks.

But there’s a crucial element being overlooked: the…
The argument for legalizing and safely producing all drugs is gaining traction, driven by a mix of public health and economic concerns. The current approach to drug policy has failed to stem the tide of overdose deaths, with over 600,000 people having lost their lives to acute drug overdoses. To put that in perspective, this…

Drug prohibition in the United States has long been criticized not only for its ineffectiveness and punitive nature but also for its deeply rooted racial biases.
