Read our exclusive interview with Drug Policy Alliance founder Ethan Nadelmann, where he discusses his new podcast ‘Psychoactive’ — featuring guests from Dan Savage to Carl Hart — and the future of drug decriminalization across the globe
[Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies] and others, there’s a real opening up around that stuff. So I think there is an element of legitimizing those discussions.
It’s a pretty easy concept to embrace, abstractly, but it’s hard to put into practice. The reflex of prohibition is so strong in our society. The second thing is the extent to which the Democrats in the House now almost uniformly support legalization. You have virtually the entire Democratic caucus in favor of legalizing marijuana, and you have the Senate getting there, getting closer and closer.
The other problem, of course, is that Biden was the most conservative of all the Democratic presidential candidates on the marijuana issue. And Kamala Harris has gotten in line — loyal to the president — she’s dropped her push on legalization, which she embraced as a senator. So I think the fact that the White House is not keen is also not helping.
When I started off with DPA, I could get the leaders of all the sort of subfields together in one room. You know, the person working on mandatory minimums, the person working on marijuana reform, the person working on harm reduction, the person working on psychedelics, the whole thing. As our movement is growing, you know, there’s a huge marijuana industry/world that is basically uninterested in anything else — except maybe the psychedelics if they can make some money from it.
