WAR ON DRUGS TO BLAME FOR CRIME

When are people going to wake up and realise that the war on drugs
(started by the US) is the main reason for the escalation in criminal
activity.

Legalise and regulate drugs and you take away a valuable commodity
from the black market. To put it simply: those who are in support of a
drug war are supporting everything that comes with the black market.

Wake up, people. The war on drugs is more dangerous to everyone than
drugs are. It is because drugs are illegal that people get killed over
them. Wake up, corrupted and sleeping politicians. End the drug war
now.
