Jeffery Miron a Harvard economist found federal, state , and local law enforcement spend 41.1 billion (mostly tax payer) dollars on drug prohibition every year. the best way to hit organized crime is by destroying their market and eliminating their income. keeping drugs illegal creates a 'forbidden fruit syndrome' which does nothing but increase usage. consider our prison system, in 1980 there were 41,000 people incarcerated for drug offenses today there are 500,000. we now lock up in america more people for violating drug law than western europe locks up for all crimes...and they have 100 million more people than we do. tax and regulate drugs, control potency and quality reducing overdoses. use the tax money for head start programs, which reduce drug use among kids 60% and save $7 for every $1 spent. a recent Zogby poll shows 44% of the nation wants marijuana legalized, and in western states over 50% of people want to see it legalized and taxed.
end the madness end prohibition.
