After years of hard work and several protests and several arrests, their efforts paid off. We insured their rights. Today as I look around, I see hundreds of organizations focused on changing or ending the War on Drugs. And yet, none of these organizations have taken any time to organize national rallies together, thinking instead to hold their own protest. This does not insure our rights, that is why we have lost them.
Politicians can and do dismiss small groups as trouble-makers.
We can continue to post messages on boards like this, talking amongst ourselves of how evil we know this war to be, or we can start talking to others who are not aware. We can and must do the same if we expect to win. The harder the government is on illicit drugs and drug use, the harder the criminals will be who risk life and limb to get it to those who want it. If the laws relax, then so does the crime. If drugs are legal, then the real criminals are no longer in control.
