Just tragic...over kill on this stupid out of control War onDrugs...This WOD has created MORE problems than it has solved...It has gone on as a huge money making enterprise, has had ZERO decline in drugs ( quite the opposite) and lines the pockets of LEA, politicans, etc.

It would be one thing if the WOD made sense or had results...but these stupid arguments”Well, what if we just legalized everything and everyone went crazy and stuff so we have to keep doing this and these tactics??” is not a good policy or strategy.

The whole WOD has never been rethought or modified to get results and make sense in 50 years! Its doing the same thing we have done for the last half century and expecting different results.Only now you have given LEA the license to kill people and dogs...all in the name of ‘protecting the chillun’”

I am pro law enforcement, but with a strategy that makes sense and get us results we want.

It's an industry. No way is the government going to dismantle a prohibition that employs thousands in law enforcement and incarceration. Get rid of the WOD, and a substantial bulk of entire federal, state, and local LEO employment would become excess.

There are going to be innocent casualties no matter which way the policy is set.
