Very well-done bit on the drug war on last night's show, starts at 3:50. http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episodes/thu-april-11-2013-cass-sunstein What's next, medical prostitutes? Not only very funny, but many important points were touched on. Kind of sad that a comedy news show is more informative than the actual news. Some points covered in the segment: The latest Pew poll that shows a majority of Americans favor legalization. 18 States now have mmj. The graph that shows steady addiction rates in spite of exponential growth in drug war spending (looks like a mountain with a stream running out). Rand Paul's recent statement on legalization. A great interview with Nick Gillespie, Reason.com editor-in-chief. Private prisons' dependence on prohibition.
