Perverse U.S. Drug Policies Promote Drug Addiction and Deaths

from the article:
The last 40 years prove conclusively that interdiction can’t possibly win the war against the cartels. Illegal drugs are more available, stronger, and cheaper than ever. We have encouraged lawlessness and civil strife in every drug-producing nation. And we have cruelly and uselessly filled our prisons with people who might otherwise have had productive lives. The key to containing the cartels is to reduce demand for their products by legalization and by providing easy access to treatment and rehabilitation. The big losers if pot is legalized will be the drug cartels and the drug companies.

It makes u wonder what the real agenda is here, after all, we put guns in the hands of these dangerous people, it doesn’t surprise me if they aren’t helping them get pills over the border. The street junkies keep the cartels in business. Its no question who the real criminals are.
Obviously they were asleep in history class the day they covered the 18th amendment and what a worthless one that was. How many innocent people died from drinking the bad bathtub gin? (for those who truly may not know homemade brew not done right came out as Methanol poisonous. Not Ethanol OK)
