The battle over drug tourism, and the decay of America’s urban core, tends to bifurcate in two views: 1) jail for everyone, 2) literally nothing to see here – the problem is not even happening. Not too long ago, I got to talking with George Hotz, one of the most wild and original minds in technology, and he came at the question sideways with a total interrogation of my assumptions. Of course drug tourists exist, but why should they not? And what if we gave them exactly what they wanted? And what if there were a technological assist in this capacity that might make everyone happy?
A bizarre, provocative question. But with the problem of our national blight so extreme, I’m open to some new ideas. And this? Certainly constitutes that.
