RETIRED JUSTICE SAYS POT SHOULD BE LEGALIZED
WASHINGTON ( AP ) - Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens says
the federal government should legalize marijuana.
The 94-year-old retired justice told National Public Radio that public
opinion has changed on the issue.
Stevens also said that there wasn't much distinction between marijuana
and alcoholic beverages. He said that the prohibition against alcohol
in the early 20th century is generally thought not to have been worth
the cost and that he believes that will be how marijuana is viewed in
the future.
