the war on drugs is a crime

[Ritalin4RitaHayworth]

Every friend of freedom . . . must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the U.S. into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence. --Milton Friedman

Doesn't the chain gang work take away paying civil service jobs?

[vojinvidanovic79]

I say cease war on herb, while all chemichal drugs are destroyers of humanity. Their makers and distributed shall be judged harshly by man and God, while addicts need treatment. So no arrets for joint, focus on real crime against the people!

[ungougedeyes552]

all drugs must be legalized, but not sold by private companies. look at what they did to tobacco. they ADDED alot of chemicals that should not be in cigarettes. if weed becomes legal, i don't want business to ruin it by adding addictive chemicals.

[foxwilliammulderx]

"The war on drugs is a joke, man. Alcohol and tabaco killed more people than coke, heroin and pot combined."

-Bill Hicks

If uncle scam cant have his cut, your going to jail.

[phreest]

This is a tragic waste of cash and won't really turn these people around. They need real jobs and the ability to support their families without recourse to illegal activity. Legalize all drugs and treat real addicts like the medically dysfunctional souls that they are.
