Decriminalize Petty Vices. Prohibition did not work with alcohol and it will not work with drugs. Alcohol use was actually higher during the Prohibition years - and societies that have decriminalized drug possession have found that drug use actually declines. It's simple human nature - that which is forbidden is made more attractive. Talk to any judge who deals with drug cases.
Judges advocate decriminalizing possession.
They know how the war on drugs has corrupted law enforcement and the court system. The war on drugs maintains the high profit margin that makes drug pushing so attractive. More arrests and stiffer sentences haven't worked - they can't work, because they increase the risk and the profit margin. Take away the profit, take away the incentive,and pushers will find another way to make money instead of selling drugs to school kids. It's time to allow people the freedom to face the consequences of their own behavior.
