Our government would have resources available to deal with addiction if these dollars were not being wasted on prohibition. 99% of Americans say that if all drugs were legalized that they would not use them. Its common sense that keeps Americans from using drugs, not the government.

Thanks for your feedback Sunshineneko... is it easier to figure out which video it is in the sequence now?

Dave Otto is the man! So good to see people willing to question poular ideaology. The War on Drugs has been a complete failure, and its time we re-evaluate our approach to the problems of addiction and drug related crime. Regulating drugs would abolish the criminal market, therby drastically reducing the number of burglaries, murders and robberies that are a direct result of prohibition.
