I agree with you somewhat. I find it incredible that there are persons who are in federal prisons, serving lengthy sentences, for minor posession of marijuana. They received these sentences only because of the jurisdiction that they were caught. If they were in another jurisdiction, they would have received perhaps a small misdemeanor fine.
I have no remorse for people who push dangerous, addictive drugs, such as methamphetamine, cocaine, crack-cocaine and heroin. These are responsible for destroying millions of lives, causing thousands and thousands of murders and other violent crimes and causing millions of families grief. Why is it that this 'system' has so much trouble finding the drug kingpins responsible for this? Clearly our focus should be on these drug kingpins and not on small-time dealers, who get caught up in this 'system'.
No, no , no...you cannot blame the drug seller, you can only blame the customer. Prohibition does NOT work. I hate that my money is spent on a useless and expensive war on drugs. Let people make their own choice.
By being illegal, drugs are exponentially expensive, lining the pockets of violent criminals, and also very unsafe for the user. Not to mention innocent bystanders who get in the way of violent underground drug trade....bring it into the light and save lives.
Other countries have been calling the U.S. out left and right in the past few weeks. The War on Drugs is a failure. Not only is it clogging our prisons with victimless criminals, its creating the drug wars and the violence in mexico and other countries, contributing to countless deaths and turning people into criminals.
Id have more to say but I'm tired as fuck and unable to arrange my thoughts any more coherently right now.
Is it normal that I think Charles Manson should die?

I completely agree with all this.
Other countries have been calling the U.S. out left and right in the past few weeks. The War on Drugs is a failure. Not only is it clogging our prisons with victimless criminals, its creating the drug wars and the violence in mexico and other countries, contributing to countless deaths and turning people into criminals.
