Time: Why Legalizing Marijuana Makes Sense
|
| By Joe Klein | Time.com | Apr. 2, 2009
For the past several years, I've been harboring a fantasy, a last political crusade for the baby-boom generation. We, who started on the path of righteousness, marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam, need to find an appropriately high-minded approach to life's exit ramp. Read
