Mark Kleiman, the Washington state amp;ldquo;pot czaramp;rdquo; and a leading drug policy expert who has criticized a state-by-state approach to marijuana legalization,came out on Thursday in favor of Oregonamp;rsquo;s ballot measure to legalize the drug for recreational purposes. In a blog post, Kleiman wrote that he supported the measure, despite concerns that legalization would lead to lower prices and higher usage. amp;ldquo;The choice Oregon voters face isnamp;rsquo;t between whatamp;rsquo;s on the ballot and some perfectly designed cannabis policy,amp;rdquo; Kleiman wrote. amp;ldquo;Itamp;rsquo;s between whatamp;rsquo;s on the ballot and continued prohibition at the state level, until and unless a better initiative can be crafted, put before the voters, and passed into law.amp;rdquo; - The Huffington Post
