Gabriel Garcia Marquez Marijuana Quote

“Prohibition made marijuana traffic more attractive and profitable, encouraged crime and corruption at all levels.  In this situation, We cannot reduce the debate to either war on Marijuana or permissiveness. We should finally take the bull by the horns: how legalization can be implemented to end the useless, harmful and selfish war that consuming countries inflict to the producers ones. The problem is a fundamental, ethical and political question, which can only be clearly defined by international agreement…with the United States leading it.” – Gabriel Garcia Marquez
