Republicans Leading the Way on Drug Policy Reform

Did you know that it's the Republicans who are leading the charge for the reform of drug laws?

The reason Republicans are taking the lead on drug policy reform is not just because it saves money, although it does. It is because putting appropriate, carefully selected offenders into treatment instead of incarceration gets both tough and smart on crime. If they can do it in Texas, we can do it in Maryland.

And we should be able to do it in the rest of the country. Where are the Democrats, other than Sharpton and Kucinich on this?
