Is Oregon proof that drug decriminalization will fail?

Drug policy scholar Kevin Sabet and Reason's Zach Weissmueller debate the resolution, "The failure of Oregon's experiment in decriminalizing all drugs is compelling evidence that other attempts at complete decriminalization will fail just as badly." Arguing for the affirmative is Sabet, the director of of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida, and the co-founder and president of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM). He is the author of Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths About Marijuana. Arguing against the resolution is Weissmueller, a senior producer at Reason, who has been covering the drug war for well over a decade. He recently produced a half-hour documentary focusing on why Oregon re-criminalized drugs. The debate is moderated by Soho Forum director Gene Epstein.
