This stupid “war” on drugs needs to end now. It’s destroying the entire American judicial system and the Constitution with it.

Having worked in the ER of a large,big city,hospital I cannot stress how wrong you are.I could tell you story,after story,after story,after story....after story..of the devastation that drugs cause the users,their families (particularly wives and children) and total strangers that would make the hair on your toes curl.I say we adopt the drug laws of Singapore.You're caught with more than a set amount of a drug and they *hang* you.They don't care if you're Singaporean,Malaysian,Indonesian,Aussie,Brit or American.THEY HANG YOU.And there are no 20 year long appeals scams either.

I agree with you.

That devastation has come about despite the War On Drugs - and there's no evidence that it would increase if the War On Drugs ended.

And if you were paying attention you have the same stories about the legal drug alcohol; should that drug be banned?
