Drug criminalization is intrinsically harmful to human societies

On January 4, Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivered a hit to burgeoning marijuana legalization efforts by rescinding the policies of federal noninterference in marijuana-friendly states.

Is this really the way forward? In fact, is this really about marijuana or is it about the entire misguided War on Drugs that Richard Nixon started in the late 1960s and has now cost more than $1 trillion and yielded no discernable results? Politicians are trying to solve the drug problem, essentially caused by government interference, with more government interference.
