WATERTOWN, S.D.(KXLG)- Renowned travel expert Rick Steves recently sat down for an interview to share his insights on marijuana legalization, drawing from his extensive travel experiences and observations of European policies. Steves, who has spent much of his life traveling across Europe, offered a comparative perspective on how different countries handle drug decriminalization and regulation.
South Dakota citizens have the ability to vote to approve recreational marijuana through Initiated Measure 29 on the November 5 ballot.
Steves began by reflecting on his lifelong travels and the lessons from Europe’s approach to various societal challenges. “I’ve spent 100 days a year since I was a kid traveling around Europe, learning and writing guidebooks,” Steves noted. He emphasized that Europeans often favor pragmatic harm reduction over legislating morality.
