Ron Paul took an opportunity during the PBS Republican Presidential Debates, moderated by Tavis Smiley, to call for end to the Drug War.
"Prohibition didn't work and prohibition on drugs hasn't worked either."
Ron Paul cited the unfair disparity in the percentage of blacks imprisoned over drug offenses in proportion with the relative percentage of black drug users, giving example to the system's racial bias.
Paul also noted the money wasted on the so-called 'War on Drugs' since the 70s when it's clear that drug use and prison capacity has only swelled in wake of the profit driven motives of the "war."

God I love Ron Paul. And no, I'm not within a cult of personality following, Ron Paul is not my savior. Liberty is. He just happens to support liberty.

Drug dealers HATE the idea of drug legalization. The first thing it would do is drop the price of by at least 75 to 80 % due to competition. The 2nd thing that happens is they'd have to register as a business and pay taxes, State and Federal on any profits. That erodes the price gains further. And finally, because they are now on an even playing field with legal drugs, they have to compete on merit alone. AND people can still wage boycott campaigns. Drug dealers HATE legalization.

Could it be that the Western "War On Drugs" is the chickens coming home to roost for causing the "Opium War" in the East, not so long ago
