The former “drug czar” under President George W. Bush, John P. Walters, discussed the problems emerging from marijuana usage.
“The argument that drug use is about the individual and their choices, this sort of libertarian argument, is flawed because the effects of drug use have a great ripple effect that especially impacts children. It is not an individual illness; rather, it is a cancer that eats at the relationships that hold our society together. This is precisely why the future of drug policy in the country will be so important as we move forward.”
