This is an odd position to take as a prison abolitionist, but can we stop rehabilitating horrible people? George W. Bush, whose team successfully stole an election and launched several catastrophic wars, is considered “good” for not being Trump and for giving Michelle Obama a candy. John Boehner was the bane of every liberal’s existence in the Obama era, and now he’s just some delightful old wino who’s into legal pot.
I think it’s FUCKING HILARIOUS that twisted worshipper of law & order (most likely as the perfect smokescreen for sating his sick-o murder lust) spoke at an ILLEGAL DRUGS CONFERENCE, IN FAVOR!
There’s a lot to like at Reason-in spite of the unrealistic & sometimes absurd idealism of the Libertarians, there are some things they’re the only ones on the right side of. I was utterly shocked when I figured this out in the past few years but I’m glad I did; gives me hope 🖤
Yeah America isn't really the country that holds power especially political power to account. And just because Perry likes drugs now doesn't mean we should be platforming him. All of his previous awful decisions will only continue to influence any current and future opinions and decisions. The Texas legal system is a flaming dumpster fire and if he is totally cool with that, why would him liking drugs change the way he handles drug policy?
"Reason editor-at-large, Nick Gillespie, whose work I very much admire..." Can you link to an example of something by Gillespie that you liked? Because I've never found him to be worth reading.

Come to think of it, Rick Perry always seemed kind of high. But a kind of high shitty person..
Good shit
