Chris Lugo on Drugs

 


Eliminate convictions for drug use

Q: What are your views on the Drug War?

A: This war on drugs has cost the federal treasury billions of dollars, is an acknowledged failure which has failed to curb drug use and has helped to perpetuate plantation capitalism in this country. I support the elimination of convictions for drug use and instead support treatment programs for those in need of addiction treatment and counseling.
