Everything about this article is bullshit. Drug laws aren't discriminatory, you have 3% of the young black male population committing 40-50% of all crime. Reflecting this in prosecutions and convictions is exactly what objectivity demands.
Secondly, the bad aspects of this fake so called "War on Drugs" are far less of a problem than legalizing drugs.
Legalized drugs killed 100 million people in China. The only people who want to legalize drugs are ignorant morons.
Why shoah 'nuff they's discrimineratory.
Think of all that
BLACK tar heroin coming in, from Mexico. Why makin that there illegal's a discriminatory
two-fer, black
and mescan.
(Yes, all that was sarcasm). The author is foolish at best.
Drug abuse does not occur in a vacuum. The effects on those who are merely the 'collateral damage' of the user are incalculable, wildly destructive, impoverishing, and deadly.
That without going into the violent acts which often accompany the drug trade, and those committed by people under the influence of those drugs which would not go away with legalization.
Alcohol, which so many attempt to compare other drug abuse with causes enough problems, you'd think we'd have learned.
We won't ever eliminate alcohol, it is too ingrained in human culture, but that doesn't mean we need to set the table for other drugs by losing our resolve to fight them.
The legacy of the Obama policy?
An ongoing and blossoming heroin problem, only now, it's new, improved, darker and has Fentanyl, for that extra 'kick' (and a huge increase in ODs.).
The police in small town ND are carrying narcan, and have saved lives by administering it and CPR. Wonderful, stuff.
Continued contempt for Federal Law as States legalize pot for recreational use.
Drug tests which used to have 4 panels now have 12, and there are new compounds every day.
It's more of the Choom Gang legacy, and one more trend we need to reverse.
Considering their fondness for Cloward-Piven, it seems as if they were out to commit as much destruction to America and American Culture as possible to effectively put the next administration in a situation of having to do repairs so extensive that any actual new policy would be difficult to implement.
