Culture 11 and the War on Drugs

Here's David Freddoso for, and Radley Balko against. I think Balko's piece is pretty awesome, and much more substantive. Freddoso comes off better in the bloggingheads below, but I think Balko is just better informed on the topic. I think his federalist approach to legalizing drugs does a great job at moving this conversation out of the realm of abstraction and strawman, to a level of "what would this look like."
