Drug Possession: Lieutenant Diane Goldstein (Retired) Invites You to Help End Marijuana Prohibition
I’m Diane Goldstein. I served with the Redondo Beach Police Department for more than 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant. I started as a strong supporter of the war on drugs, but over the course of my career, I began to reconsider it, both because of what I saw professionally and personally. Over my career I arrested a significant number of people for drug use and possession. But I came to realize this didn’t help anyone: Our neighborhoods continued to have access to drugs, while we wasted fiscal resources prosecuting and incarcerating offender’s for victimless crimes instead off violent and property crimes. But most importantly we threw away a segment of our society by labeling them as criminal offenders and limiting their opportunities for jobs and education.

This war has ruined American life’s for 2 long.
