Sting, Soros, Montel and More: We are the Drug Policy Alliance

DPA introduces a new video featuring Sting, George Soros and Montel Williams. Each of them believes that our drug policies must be grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. And each believes that only by working together can we end the failed war on drugs.

DEAR ANYONE AGAINST DRUG LEGALIZATION

Look to Portugal, who in 2001 legalized ALL drugs. Yes, anything. Meth, Heroin, Crack, all legal, with no penalty for use or possession. Do you think this leads to high drug usage? Take a look at the stats- They spend far less money, incarcerate far fewer people, have less overdoses and have less drug related health problems.

This is a real example, its been around for over 10 years now and there are no signs of a policy change, it works, plain and simple

Ahhh, now I understand why Soros is so creepy and fucked up...he's on dope!

@essenceluvsu1 ~because drinking is bad, dope is just fine then...

Very logical.....

[Notlib1]

Anyone that feels compelled to waste/burn up their little brains...please take your weak ass and MOVE to those countries you love so much. AND>>>>should EXECUTE all ~found guilty~ drug pushers. Fuckin pieces of SHIT. Addicts remind me of experimental mice. Meth manufacturers/pushers are akin to MURDERERS. They'd sell to a child (and do) to make a buck and feed their habit. SICK.

Move to Portugal.

@bjamnjm Portugal and Europe as a whole are struggling, yes, but their drug policies, at least Portugal's, is 100% more successful than the US's in every conceivable notion.

[bjamnjm]

I commend Portugal on its leap of faith regarding drug legalization. I hope it is successful. Having said thus, I look at Portugal and see it struggling just as bad as the rest of Europe if not worse. The intended endgame more revenue or behavioral adjustment is short lived. My fear is that w/all such deals the masses lose while Soros wins everything but our souls.

@Balzaz Do you know how much money is spent housing drug offender inmates? In California it costs $47,102 dollars each year per person. Most Rehabs and emergency bills are paid by the people, not by the city.

@Balzaz get together with a freind-one of you drink alcohol, and one of you smoke cannabis.. see which one of you starts making irrational thoughts first. see which one of you starts acting violently and unpredictably,... see which one of you has health problems of ANY type. ALCOHOL KILLS people. LITTERALLY-not only drunken people, but it is TOXIC to consume...FATAL in quantity. the effects of cannabis are PEACE and RATIONAL THINKING. it is also IMPOSSIBLE to consume a lethal amount of cannabis.
