Article from Fox News by John Stossel.
John Stossel Offered his take on the war on drugs, in a piece for Fox News. Here are some of the points we found most interesting:
Give me a break. Locking some people up forever will not stop sales of drugs.
Americans should have learned that from our last attempt — Prohibition.
Making popular things illegal rarely diminishes their use. People still buy the banned items, but now they buy them from criminals. Violence increases. Sellers, instead of resolving disputes in courts, settle them with violence.
The illegal activity doesn’t go away. It just becomes more dangerous.

I love how this article tells us how the liberals are doing these horrible things. If Trump is this great leader against these horrible liberals, why does his right hand man(Sessions) want to lock people up for marijuana. Stop your hypocracy.
According to T”HX1138, the next step will be to prosecute “NON-DRUG” participants for unlawful drug evasion. Have you taken your Elvis Drugs today?
I have a wonderful idea ! Do all of the dope and any kind that you want , under the prime condition that you receive absolutely no help in any way , fashion , or form at the taxpayers expense ! Absolutely NO food , shelter , or medical aid even to save your life from an overdose ! And if you are caught panhandling for dope money or violating any law , then the full weight of Justice should come crashing down on your skull . I have never had a problem with anyone blowing joint or two on the weekend but I HATE a worthless stoner ! Remember , ” Life is hard . It is even harder if you are stupid ! ” And stoners are about the stupidest creatures that God ever put on the face of the earth !
The “war on drugs” is exactly as stupid as the “war on poverty”. The 50 year old WOP has cost taxpayers roughly $50 trillion dollars and poverty is still rampant because the WOP caused the removal of any incentive toward independence. Don’t know how much the WOD has cost but I do know that Obama was feeding billions of dollars to the very countries supplying the raw material.
