Drug War Wrongs & Flaws, with Rep. Barney Frank (D) MA

"Let's Agree on What's Wrong"(with the current prohibition), says Rep. Barney Frank to National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws convention in Washington, DC, April, 2001.
Rep. Frank discusses the erosion of privacy and Constitutional safeguards in law enforcement, largely due to investigation of "victimless crimes" in the drug war.
Also: racial disparities; consequences of incarceration; waste of taxpayer funds; free market forces - all point to the futility of prohibitions as vehicles of law and order, according to Barney Frank.
