Put Crack, Heroine, Meth, PCP out on the street and just watch that problem magnify infinitesimally.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition:
"The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy -- reducing crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug use -- have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy, fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs".

Who should I believe?
The cops, prosecutors and judges who say the drug war is wrong, or some guy called ghostmonkey...

Sorry bud, but LEAP is not representative of the average street cop, judge, or prosecutor.

You quote an organization that has just over 5,000 people, and those 5,000 are not even restricted to current or former law enforcement, any libertine doper can join, and you pass them off as Law Enforcement? LOL!!!

You failed to address any of the points that I made. Look at all of the alcohol related problems that exist in this country. Put much more dangerous substances into the public sphere (Crack, Meth, Heroin, PCP, Et El.) And just watch the chaos.

Libertines fail to realize that human beings are depraved and evil, and left to their own devices will always tend toward wrongdoing.
