Summary: Putting people in jail for non-violent possession or seizing property
for the same reasons makes crimes out of people who are not criminals. You
cannot legislate morality and, in America, should not.
Author's statement:
Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the
prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp,
by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of
an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of
citizens on slight evidence.
-- Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist
