Carl Romanelli on Drugs

After 35 years, it's obvious Drug War is not working

End the Drug War: $25 billion dollars yearly is spent on law enforcement for the drug war. About 78% of all arrests are for simple cannabis possession alone. After almost 35 years, it should be obvious that the current policy is not working. We cannot arrest away the drug problems in this country. Those problems are the direct result of the underground profits of illegal drug sales. Until that issue is addressed, we all remain victims of the drug war.
