DON'T PROHIBIT DRUGS
It's impossible to live in peace while we're under the influence of
drug prohibition. There's too much money in the illegal sales, and too
many organizations ready to use it to finance violent activities.
We need to legalize cocaine, heroin, marijuana and meth in order to
reclaim big chunks of the black market.
Then we can ease prison overcrowding by releasing drug prohibition
offenders, and redirect drug-war spending into rehab, recovery and
reintegration programs.
