Marijuana Legalization was Oversold

Politico reports:

The New York Times editorial board walked back its yearslong support for marijuana legalization in a Monday editorial, writing that the U.S. “has recently gone too far in accepting and even promoting its use.”

In the piece, the editorial board conceded that some of its past positions on legalization no longer hold up, including its initial assessment that marijuana addiction and dependence are “relatively minor problems, especially compared with alcohol and tobacco.”

The surprising thing is that the NY Times admits that it duped us.

The past decade has seen huge increases in marijuana and gambling use. The effects have been overwhelmingly negative.

What next? An admission that transgenderism was oversold? There was just another transgender mass shooting in Canada.

The police superintendent later described the shooter as a “gunperson” in a press briefing.
