Ethics, like morality in general, is subjective. No ethical view can be proven or disproven. In this video, Pablo Bustos explores what lead him to passionately believe the War on Drugs in general and the Prohibition of Marijuana in particular was wrong. Focusing on the history of the Western Hemisphere, the Americas, Pablo explores how the War on Drugs is both a real war and a metaphorical one which attacks the very essence of liberty. The full interview of Vicente Fox, ex-President of Mexico, and High Times Magazine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS3yQtgAiGU&t=0s I encourage our viewers to continue exploring the opinions of Milton Friedman and Thomas Szasz on drugs and drug use. Milton Friedman's views were seen in a clip incorporated into the end of this video. Here's one video of Thomas Szasz talking of drug use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LoSgdpHnUk&t=29s

The War on Drugs has often displayed some of the worst abuses concerning the coercive power of the State; incarceration rates are high, families have been separated, and liberty attacked. To make matters worse, these insidious effects fall disproportionally against vulnerable minority and indigent groups. This has often been justified as a means to achieve a more just society, where drug use would be less prevalent and society more orderly. However, it's indisputable that decades after the War on Drugs was declared it has failed to curb drug use and caused enormous problems both at a geopolitical level and within countries as incarceration rates rose and organized crime flourished. In this video, Pablo argues that replacing the War on Drugs with regulation free of criminal sanctions as the gravamen of drug policy would be better for society than continuing the war. It would also strengthen the rule of law. This should be a time for optimism. America, both the continent and the country, with all its paradoxes is well posed to lead a new paradigm of drug regulation.

The Legal Profession is a big topic and in this channel's first video on this topic and how it relates to the Legal Marijuana Industry we focus on the transition from lawyering as criminal defense to legal compliance in the civil law world where lawyers act largely as Small Business Lawyers representing entrepreneurs.
