6. The "War" on drugs needs to end now.
Sun Jun 15, 2014, 09:35 AM

People with chronic pain and other health problems find drugs like cannabis and simple opiates effective

Addiction is merely a health problem too, not a criminal failing, whether it involves legal drugs like nicotine or alcohol, or "illegal" drugs.

The war between drug gangsters and drug warriors solve no social problems, they only create more, harming innocent people in the crossfire, ruining the lives of people whose only "crime" was suffering.

K&R this post.

The drug warriors, and the gangsters, and the pharmaceutical corporations pushing more dangerous but highly profitable pills, they all need to go away.
