For more than 60 years, prohibitionists have waged a war against drug use. With all their meddling in American lives, law enforcement agencies, and the programs that fund them, have failed to save anyone from themselves. Unless, of course, we count inaccurate statistics bolstered by those who prefer forced treatment over incarceration.

Prohibition does nothing but inflate prices for black-market profiteers and poison minds with false propaganda.

As a patriotic American, I would prefer to live among responsible adults who might choose to use marijuana for recreation and medicine rather than succumb to a police state that jails and marginalizes more than 700,000 nonviolent Americans per year, draining American tax dollars.
