Who out there supports the War on Drugs? And why?
I mean: other than serious punishment for anyone (other than parents or guardians or a doctor) who supplies drugs to a minor.
Why not end ALL trafficking by reducing the price to zero? Give it away in a local clinic to certified addicts.
And treat MJ like tobacco.
Bev: Why punish the weak? Are you a delinquent?
How does punishment treat addiction?
yes, the drug war benefits only the dealers. How can they out-vote the rest of us?

We know pohibition doesn't work.
Legalize it and tax it and hold those who get in trouble while influenced by drugs they have used LIABLE for any harm they cause.
Continue the ban on any drug that is addictive and is also capable of causing irrational behavior.
SEVERELY punish anyone distributing those addictive drugs. If someone dies as a result of their criminal activity, hold them accountable for murder, or as an accessory at a minimum).
If someone wants to smoke a joint and doesn't get in trouble by driving a car or engaging in other hazardous activities while under the influence of the drug, what's the big deal? The ONLY peole that really believe MJ is addictive are those who have never tried it and buy into the lie. - But I'll grant them it can be mentally addictive for individuals who lack the character needed to manage their own behavior.
I understand why there is a war on drugs, but the way it is managed is wrong headed.

Well, I don't! The law, the F.D.A. and big Pharma do. How else can you make a killing profit wise while addicting people to drugs! Then when the government cracks down on prescription drugs, there is suddenly a new elicit supply of narcotics to fill the void! Blame wall street.

Both political parties lack the guts to do the right thing and legalize drugs. It would help us and Mexico. The war on drugs is not working. You can buy them at EVERY middle school in America.
