PROHIBITING MARIJUANA, OTHER DRUGS IS ANTI-AMERICAN
Police and the law enforcement community in general are part of the
problem and reason the costly, failed and discredited war on drugs
and the plant cannabis (marijuana) continues.
Years ago the police mantra included: If you don't like the laws then
change them, and they don't make the laws they just enforce them. But
no longer. Police associations and unions organize against credible
cannabis and drug law reform with the effect of job security being
the goal, regardless of what is best for North America. Shame on them
and shame on the media for allowing and enabling it. Prohibition is
anti-American.
