WAR ON DRUGS IS POINTLESS, A WASTE OF TAX DOLLARS

For more than 60 years, prohibitionists have waged a war against drug use.
With all their meddling in American lives, law enforcement agencies, and the
programs that fund them, have failed to save anyone from themselves. Unless,
of course, we count inaccurate statistics bolstered by those who prefer
forced treatment over incarceration.

Prohibition does nothing but inflate prices for black-market profiteers and
poison minds with false propaganda.

As a patriotic American, I would prefer to live among responsible adults who
might choose to use marijuana for recreation and medicine rather than
succumb to a police state that jails and marginalizes more than 700,000
nonviolent Americans per year, draining American tax dollars.
