THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A TOTAL LOSS WITHOUT AN END IN SIGHT

Most Americans agree: our Federal Drug Prohibition, aka The War on
Drugs, is an ongoing calamity, colossal failure, and a national disgrace.

Due to strongly entrenched vested interests and tightly organized
criminal enterprises in all branches and levels of government, public
debate and input on this subject has been systematically repressed
and shoved aside for more than 45 years.

Even such simple ideas as allowing individual states the option to
try other approaches -- as they have the right to do with alcohol,
tobacco, prostitution, gambling and capitol punishment -- are never
seriously discussed.

Although tens of millions of us have been imprisoned and uncounted
tens of thousands killed, legislators and politicians at all levels
are terrified to address the issue.

We are facing an ongoing, perpetual and eternal War on Drugs. We live
in a condition of Federal lock-down on this issue. How do we end this
God forsaken war?
