QUOTE: Larry King “You’re not suggesting they legalize LSD?” John Morgan: “I certainly am. I believe that the drug should be legalized.” (From 1992 interview on CNN by Larry King.)
QUOTE: “When do we see normal drug use, except in my apartment.” “There is no
such thing as treatment.” “Cocaine does not cause physical dependence.”
“When we know what drugs are dangerous, we should legalize them.” “I
believe drugs are safe.” “We ought to make available safer forms of
cannabis, opiates and cocoa.” (Harvard Law School Conference, May 21, 1994.)
QUOTE: “Then why do we need to educate particularly very young children about
drugs at all? Indeed, since drug use is primarily a religious event that they probably should learn more at home.” (1993 50th Anniversary Celebration of Discovery of LSD)
QUOTE: “But the most important aspect, I think, of supply, is to supply people services including drugs. Less criminal justice, less treatment, less prevention, more reliance on people’s individual choices.” (1993 50th Anniversary Celebration of Discovery of LSD)
QUOTE: “One of the issues that has always struck me since I became interested in
the drug field is how often the police sound like the dealers. I guess that’s not too much of a surprise because in fact they’re both economically dependent on the same phenomenon that is creating use.” (NORML Conference speech.)
QUOTE: “I don’t mind public money going to something to benefit drug users for instance, I think it might be a great idea for us to fund rooms. Rooms where people can sit and talk, rooms where people can have other options. But the most important aspect, I think, of supply, is to supply people services including drugs. Less criminal justice, less treatment, less prevention, more reliance on peoples’ individual choices.” (1993 50th Anniversary Celebration of Discovery of LSD)
In the Merck Manual John Morgan stated that abstinence education is a waste of time and that kids who smoke pot get better grades than kids who abstain.
