The fact that some of the most successful people of our time, be it in business, finances, politics, entertainment or the arts, are current or former substance users is a fundamental refutation of its premises and a stinging rebuttal of its rationale. A criminal law that is broken at least once by 50% of the adult population and that is broken on a regular basis by 20% of the same adult population is a broken law, a fatally flawed law. How can a democratic government justify a law that is consistently broken by a substantial minority of the population? What we are witnessing here is a massive case of civil disobedience not seen since alcohol prohibition in the 1930 in the US. On what basis can a democratic system justify the stigmatization and discrimination of a strong minority of as much as 20% of its population?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jeffrey Dhywood" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jeffrey-dhywood/the-accession-of-not-one-but-three-illegal-drug-users-in-a-row-to-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/911/jeffrey-dhywood-66883_barack-obama_the-accession-of-not-one-but-three-illeg_409035.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/911/jeffrey-dhywood-66883_barack-obama_the-accession-of-not-one-but-three-illeg_409035.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/911/jeffrey-dhywood-66883_barack-obama_the-accession-of-not-one-but-three-illeg_409035.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The accession of not one but three illegal drug users in a row to the US presidency constitutes an…” — Jeffrey Dhywood", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/broken-law/jeffrey-dhywood/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/broken-law/jeffrey-dhywood/", "name": "Broken Law Quotes by Jeffrey Dhywood", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/broken-law/jeffrey-dhywood/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/911/jeffrey-dhywood-66883_barack-obama_the-accession-of-not-one-but-three-illeg_409035.jpg" }, "description": "1 Broken Law quotes by Jeffrey Dhywood.
