WAR ON DRUGS IS NOT WORKING

In the interest of being clear and honest (I know, it's a radical
concept), let's acknowledge that the war on drugs does not work and
never has. We could advance our efforts toward better health care,
lower crime rates, more jobs and increased state revenue by
decriminalizing the use of marijuana.

We know the time and money spent on law enforcement in this area does
not result in ending marijuana use. Why continue to follow a failed
program? Our tax dollars should be actually helping folks instead of
funding the prosecution of otherwise law abiding citizens.
