Supreme Court Veteran John Paul Stevens: Legalise Cannabis Across the US
Cannabis should be legalised all across the United States, according to a former Supreme Court Justice.
John Paul Stevens, who is 94 years old, has called for the drug to be decriminalised. He claimed the reason was that public opinion on the subject has changed, and that the sacred herb causes leaves less damage in its wake than alcohol.
Stevens used to occupy one of the eight foremost judicial positions in the USA, and appears to have become more radical with old age. He also cited prohibition of alcohol which was made statutory by the Volstead Act in 1919 - and now considered ludicrous.
Stevens has also proposes a ban on capital punishment, as well as a re-wording of the second amendment to make federal gun control more stringent.
