PUT THE BITE ON PROHIBITION

How many more years are we going to allow prohibition to destroy our nation?

Now you want to terrorize our children in school because you've allowed the
unregulated black market created by prohibition to flourish? The war on
some drugs is not a war on drugs at all. It's a war on the citizens of our
nations.

It's reported that president George W. Bush used cocaine and marijuana and
we all know the list of politicians and other members of society that have
used marijuana. The demand for these drugs will always be there.

If we would allow responsible adults to ingest whatever the heck they wish
as long as they don't harm others, other property or sell to minors then
there would be no black market and those who are selling to minors could
more easily be apprehended and charged.

But our government's only choice is to continue down the miserably failed
drug war path.

I urge everyone to contact their representatives and let them know that we
demand social and healthcare solutions for those needing help with drug
addiction. Not criminal justice sanctions that leave the user and society
in a terrible mess.
