It’s almost like the “War On Drugs” is a complete failure that weaponized the police against American citizens, enabled drug smugglers to build empires that fund actual crime like human trafficking, took away our individual freedom of choice, increased the amount of overdoses and deaths due to unregulated product strength and content, allowed pharmaceutical companies to monopolize the addiction marketplace, encouraged the capitalization of private prisons, thwarted addicts from seeking help for fear of jail, prevented those with PTSD and MS and other illnesses from utilizing cannabis and other substances to heal, blocked scientific research that could potentially find cures to many mental and physical illnesses, and cost us countless human lives, tax money and resources… all because of policies inspired by greed, racism, fear and ignorance.
Or wait, that’s exactly what it is.
