Cops Against The Drug War
COPS AGAINST THE DRUG WAR
Nina Shapiro, Seattle Weekly

A national organization of law-enforcement veterans says the war on drugs is 'a total and abject failure.'

1. Good.
As this gets into the mainstream, more and more people will realize that the so-called "War on Drugs" is just a big con game.

The tide of public support will turn against it soon, hopefully.

4. it all ready has turned somewhat
There is no way anyone can say it is not a 100% failure. Drugs would be about the same as alcohol is now if it were legal. Several countries have legal drugs and have no problems, they also do not have age limits on alcohol and thus a lot less binge drinking. The same goes for cigarets.

The worst most harmful drugs were created to fill the void caused by the lack of supply of the normal drugs. Almost every natural drug is harmless if you can control the dosage and it meets safety standards.

I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs, but I would like my freedom back that was taken by alphabet soup agencies and unconstitutional laws.

BTW, BUMP!

5. I think there's a sherriff in wyoming or maybe colorado who has said
the same thing. I think there's a canadian organization for active duty police that feel that way too. Finally - in Nev. before they replaced him the head of one of the state police associations endorsed their measure to deregulate marijuana.
