End the War on Drugs? the War Against Us?
Question by : End the war on drugs? The war against us?
We now have 2,000,000 people in jail/prison in the United States (number one in the world).
Around 40% are there for non-violent drug offenses and DWI.
Drug use since the war on drugs started has gone up, not down.
Contrast this to Portugual, where drugs were decrimnalized in 2001.
Their rate of drug usage went the opposite way – down.
The Netherlands has almost eradicated heroin addiction through it’s treatment-not prison drug policies.
Clearly, the answer to drug use is decrimalization.
Not prison, which has ruined many a man/woman’s life, whose only “crime” was against themselves.
