Will Obama roll back the War on Drugs if elected president?

The RACIST War on Drugs has been the Republicans' beloved sacred cow since Richard (I) M (not a crook) Nixon rammed it down the throats of the American people nearly 40 years ago.

Don't you think it's time to admit FAILURE, REPEAL PROHIBITION, and move on?

Any doubts watch this documentary:

    I believe he will.Any really sensible informed person would come to the same conclusion.

  • It's not racist. What it is all about is MONEY & Power for conservatives in law enforcement, religion, & politics.

    CONSIDER:

    No lawyer = jail & fine = money & power for county.

    Lawyer = no jail but fine = $$ for lawyer + $$ county.

    Since most people busted for anything - failure to appear, bad check, DUI, don't vote or arn't even registered the winners are conservative law enforcement, religion, & political power base.

    1 of every 100 Americans are in prison. Few go to jail or prison for marijuana - just probation or suspended sentences but jails are full of probation violatiors. After probation, spit on the sidewalk and who amongst us needs three gusses where you will land?

    i agree, time to re-prioritize, if we stop spending so much on marijuana bust, maybe we could work harder on the man made drugs

    legalize, regulate and tax the crap out of all natural drugs,

    then every one could have health care and the education system can have more money, all at the expense of pot heads

    in a country of freedom of religion you would think it is wrong to make all natural, from seed growing plants illegal,

    either way, you are right, the war on drugs is a long war that we have been losing since it was started,

    it is time to re prioritize

    Source(s): i'd rather pay tax to the government than to give it to a drug dealer, how about you

    The war on drugs is not RACIST. The so called "RACIST" elements of drug enforcement are largely the cocaine vs crack argument. Crack is dealt with more harshly because there is much violent crime surrounding it. I do believe our national drug policy to be a waste of time however. I would be ok with legalizing pot at the very least.

    many many people complain 'we are losing the war on drugs'.

    Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative on that side.
