Perhaps it is time to rethink the War on Drugs
March 28, 2009
I have slowly but surely evolved in my thinking to the point that I agree that it is time to re-assess our country’s “War on Drugs.”
Above and beyond the fact that is not appropriate to wage war on your own citizens; it is becoming obvious that this is not a problem that can be solved with law enforcement alone.
It has been an extraordinarily expensive war – and it is not working.
At this point, I’m not sure that I go along with legalizing it; perhaps it is time to emphasis treating it as a medical problem.
