THE EVILS OF PROHIBITION

Drug prohibition instigates evil worldwide. Prohibition takes 
something of minimal value and changes it into something of immense 
value. In the effort to grow, process, ship and sell drugs, many 
criminals join in this financial feast.

Evil is hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths from AIDS. Wicked 
is 1.6 million non-violent drug users arrested each year. Mean is 
$100 billion meant for education used, rather, for the 
prison-industrial complex. But the greatest evil of drug prohibition 
is the collusion of our government.
