"If the war on drugs was a scientific war, it would have collapsed under its own weight years ago."
Last week, backers of an initiative to legalize marijuana in California declared that they'd collected enough signatures to place it on the November ballot. The news was announced by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, a declared 2018 gubernatorial candidate best known nationally for using his power as San Francisco's mayor to greenlight same-sex marriages long before courts had sanctioned the practice.
That experience has encouraged Newsom to take bold positions on other social issues, including drug policy reform. I sat down with Newsom in downtown San Francisco to talk about legalization, his college bong photos (it's not what you think), and how the experiences of other legal-pot states helped him craft the Adult Use of Marijuana Act.
