A New Era for U.S. Drug Policy? - CBS News:

"As the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, Nadelmann has long advocated for the liberalization of U.S. drug laws -- specifically, making marijuana legal, regulated and taxed and ending criminal penalties on the possession and use of all other drugs.

For most of that time the Alliance has been relegated to the fringe of serious policy discussions, a space long occupied - or so the stereotype goes - by radical libertarians and readers of the marijuana enthusiast magazine High Times.

But things are changing. The last few months are 'the first time I've ever felt that the wind is at my back and not in my face,' Nadelmann said. 'There's a tremendous amount of momentum across the board.'" Sphere: Related Content
