It’s about a brave experiment unfolding in Seattle to decriminalize possession of heroin and other hard drugs, as a step toward ending America’s catastrophic war on drugs. In Seattle, a cop might confiscate heroin or cocaine but wouldn’t normally arrest an ordinary user; instead, that person might be referred to social services. I’m all in favor of this experiment. As I see it, America’s half-century war on drugs was a catastrophe: It resulted in mass incarceration and left as many Americans with arrest records as with college degrees, it accentuated racial inequity, it devastated America’s family structure, and it had no deterrent effect. One American still dies every seven minutes from a drug overdose, and 2 million American kids are living with someone with an illicit drug dependency. It’s time to stop dealing with narcotics as primarily a law enforcement issue and instead approach it as a public health problem. It’s a disgrace that only one-fifth of drug users get treatment, which pays for itself several times over. I have no illusions about drugs and have lost any number of friends and classmates to them, but we can’t arrest our way out of this problem. So bravo to Seattle for leading America to a more sensible approach that recognizes that we’re facing a massive health problem that needs to be dealt with as such. I hope the presidential candidates will endorse the Seattle model, and [here’s my piece](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfQlcwP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8yMy9vcGluaW9uL3N1bmRheS9vcGlvaWQtY3Jpc2lzLWRydWctc2VhdHRsZS5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9bmlja2tyaXN0b2YmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmtfMjAxOTA4MjI_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NDUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE4MjUmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjQyNSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MDgyMlcDbnl0QgoAITDSX13nIJZMUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) on why they should.

My view is that it’s quite likely that President Trump will retreat in the face of economic weakness and the impact that might have on his reelection, and so will hammer out a deal in which China agrees to buy more farm products without any fundamental restructuring — and then both sides will declare victory. [] I’ve been vacationing in Oregon with my family, and I recommend to all comers one hike we do almost every year: The 41-mile backpack on the Timberline Trail around Mount Hood. It’s a gorgeous trail that pretty much follows Timberline, isn’t too crowded and is dog-friendly. Particularly in these crazy political times, I find backpacking and wilderness very soothing. That’s my wife, Sheryl WuDunn, and me crossing a creek on on the Timberline Trail. Longtime readers know that backpacking is near to my soul and that my daughter and I hiked from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail over seven summers. We've just published a joint article about that journey — the bears, the rattlesnakes, and our evolving father-daughter relationship — in Backpacker Magazine, and it [just went online here.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfQlcwP0TeaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmFja3BhY2tlci5jb20vc3Rvcmllcy9ncm93aW5nLXVwLW9uLXRoZS1wY3QtbmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZj9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTgyNSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2NDI1JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZubD1uaWNob2xhcy1rcmlzdG9mJmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMTkwODIzVwNueXRCCgAhMNJfXecglkxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) Enjoy the photos, too!
