Pretty sure the Economist has already run something along the lines of "For %%%%'s sake, let's decriminalize marijuana already." Don't count on government doing the sensible thing after the Economist runs an article on it.
The Economist has been in favor of full legalization of all drugs for decades now. Fun fact: Milton Friedman was also strongly in favor of legalization, and he even convinced his friend and Reagan's Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
Even more fun fact: the National Review has also been pro-legalization for ages, as was William F. Buckley Jr.
