This so called “War on Drugs” can never be won with laws, law enforcement officers and prisons. As far as I can tell Heroin and Cocaine are about 1/5th the price of 30 years ago, Meth is 1/3rd and the Pharmaceutical opiates are so plentiful, well let’s just say some are almost free. Moving the drug addiction problem out of the hands of Law Enforcement and into a controlled medical environment with an unlimited access to treatment would eliminate 70-80% of crime involving theft and as such would reduce the prison population accordingly. But here’s the real problem, We have grown,as a nation, a Multi-Billion dollar Industry around this “War". Look at our own great State and one can realize immediately size and scope of the financial concerns that lobby for longer sentences and stricter laws. Corporations run for-profit prisons, it’s amoral! Regulation would reduce the underground economy of drugs which would close the “Gateway” to your children and give them a chance to grow up healthy and happy. Accept for an occasional rip off of an indoor grow and the actions of a few overzealous Law enforcement officers our Medical Marijuana policy seems fairly problem free. These people are NOT Criminals, They are SICK and need our help! To people who say “You Can’t give People Drugs!” I say they are already doing drugs and they are robbing you to get more !
