Why The Drug War Should End

Why The Drug War Should End

We have more people in cages in this country than any other country on Earth. We can't be the land of the free and the land of the incarcerated at the same time. Our jails and prisons are overcrowded. Much of this is due to people being incarcerated for victimless drug crimes. It's time we end this ridiculous drug war, which is really just a war on our fellow citizens. Instead, let's help anyone who has an addiction problem get the medical help they need. We can do better than putting our fellow citizens in cages for what is a health problem, not a criminal justice problem.

We need to end the war on drugs and once again be "the land of the free."
