DRUG POLICIES FOSTER VIOLENCE AT HOME AND ABROAD
I'm a retired police detective. Despite spending a trillion tax
dollars to arrest 39 million Americans on drug charges, drugs are
cheaper, stronger and very easy for kids to buy. So much for a return
on investment. The drug war has truly been a bridge to nowhere.
Legalization is a solution to the crime, and the violence and chaos
created when illegal drugs are sold.
