Danny Kushlick and Steve Rolles are the English activists and drug policy experts who founded the Transform Drugs Policy Institute and helped president José Mujica design Uruguay’s legal marijuana system. They advocate legalization as “a drama reduction program” to reduce crime and violence, and they propose regulating drugs through the same systems that currently exist for alcohol, tobacco, and prescriptions.

Quotes
This isn’t a vision in which we lose control of drugs, Danny and Steve argue—it’s a vision in which we gain control, at last. Legalization is the only way of introducing regulation to the drug market. If this were done, the people selling drugs wouldn’t be shooting each other, any more than your local neighborhood barkeeps send hit men to slaughter each other. The users would know what they were taking. And through taxation, we would have a huge new revenue stream to educate kids and invest in reducing the real causes of addiction.
