Morris's concise and well-thought out piece highlights important facts, to be sure, but what really makes this an interesting read is the anecdotal evidence he is able to share thanks to his work with the District Attorney's office in Washington.

Morris' overview of current drug enforcement policy and its ramifications is clearly well considered. Despite his slightly bombastic tone, Morris manages to make his point convincingly, even bringing up some rather novel concepts along the way. I would love to see this flushed out into a more supported piece - although Morris seems to have strong and informed opinions, much of his research lacks thorough citation that would be helpful. Ultimately, Morris makes a passionate argument from a unique perspective and has the potential to be a strong voice on this topic in the future as he develops his research and ideas.

Whether or not you agree with his views, Morris's "polemic" (as he describes it) presents a concise, accesible, and useful take on the U.S. war on drugs. Filled with statistical and anecdotal data, this short piece delivers with a loud voice. I recommend this quick, thought-provoking read.
