Description: Guest speaker: Jonathan Ott
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Jonathan Ott.]
"It is, of course, absurd for humankind to presume to illegalize other organisms with which we share this planet."
"A society that coddles murderers and armed robbers in order to get tough on potheads is not walking the moral high ground." [In reference to releasing violent criminals to make room for small-time, non-violent, simple possession offenders.]
"In short, drug prohibition is impractical, ineffective, uneconomic, anti-scientific, unhealthy, immoral, unecological, undiplomatic, and dictatorial."
"Drug laws are the monstrous result of institutionalizing paranoia."
