Former Seattle US Attorney John McKay (aka "Legalizer!") [Lauren V. Burke / WDCPix.com

John McKay is Seattle’s former U.S. attorney and better known to us as the man who indicted Marc Emery in 2005 for the “crime” of selling cannabis seeds.  But even this hard-headed law-enforcer who took down a seed magnate and thinks people who smoke pot are “idiots” argues that marijuana prohibition is an utter failure and needs to be replaced by legal regulation and taxation.

(Seattle Times) As Emery’s prosecutor and a former federal law-enforcement official, however, I’m not afraid to say out loud what most of my former colleagues know is true: Our marijuana policy is dangerous and wrong and should be changed through the legislative process to better protect the public safety.

• First, we need to honestly and courageously examine the true public-safety danger posed by criminalizing a drug used by millions and millions of Americans who ignore the law. Marijuana prohibition has failed — it’s time for a new policy crafted by informed policymakers with the help of those in law enforcement who have risked their lives battling pot-purveying drug cartels and gangs.

• Second, let’s talk about marijuana policy responsibly and with an eye toward sound science, not myth. We can start by acknowledging that our 1930s-era marijuana prohibition was overkill from the beginning and should be decoupled from any debate about “legalizing drugs.” We should study and disclose the findings of the real health risks of prolonged use, including its influence and effect on juveniles.

• Third, we should give serious consideration to heavy regulation and taxation of the marijuana industry (an industry that is very real and dangerously underground). We should limit pot’s content of the active ingredient THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), regulate its sale to adults who are dumb enough to want it and maintain criminal penalties for sales, possession or use by minors, drivers and boaters.

Aside from his frequent characterization of myself and 25 million Americans as “dumb” or “idiots’ and his use of the phrase “so called ‘medical’ marijuana”, it’s a pretty good condemnation of marijuana prohibition.  He even makes the obvious comparison to our other failed prohibition – alcohol – though he never characterizes beer drinkers as “dumb” or “idiots”.
