The proof is that when new prisons are proposed, the backers justify it using 'economic benefit' to the community. <BR/><BR/>Users need rehab, small pushers put on house arrest and put into work crews and fined big time, not put in cells. Go after the cartels, and treat our demand problem!! We have to fix our prison system.Jason Vorvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430622186661862268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13638234.post-67138581789317701532008-06-11T22:29:00.000-04:002008-06-11T22:29:00.000-04:00PROHIBITION never works it just CAUSES CRIME & VIO...PROHIBITION never works it just CAUSES CRIME & VIOLENCE. Illegal drugs are way easier for kids to get than legal ones. The USA spends $69 billion a year on the drug war, builds 900 new prison beds and hires 150 more correction officers every two weeks, arrests someone on a drug charge every 17 seconds, jails more people than any nation and has killed over 100,000 citizens because of the drug war. In 1914 when ALL DRUGS WERE LEGAL 1.3% of our population was addicted to drugs, today 1.3% of our population is STILL ADDICTED TO DRUGS. The only way to control drugs is to REGULATE THEM AND END THE PROFITS AVAILABLE TO CRIMINALS just like ending alcohol prohibition did. There’s only been one drug success story in history, tobacco, THE MOST DEADLY and one of the MOST ADDICTIVE drugs. Almost half the users quit because of REGULATION, ACCURATE INFORMATION AND MEDICAL TREATMENT. No one went to jail and no one got killed.
