There Are Better Ways to Win the Drug War
Re “Judge Gray, a Drug-War Foe, Will Run for Senate,” Nov. 20:
Judge James P. Gray’s press conference called for policy changes in our war on drugs.
He feels voters are ahead of politicians and editorial boards.
Voters spoke when they passed Proposition 215 for medical marijuana and Proposition 36 treatment over incarceration.
Judge Gray incarcerates drug offenders but says we cannot punish ourselves out of this problem. Other countries changed policy and saw a reduction in crime, corruption and other community damage.
