The "War on Drugs" does many things, including 1) put people who grow plants deemed illegal by the United States Government in jail, 2) Deliberately funnel extremely harmful drugs to poor neighborhoods via government agencies, which has now come to light due to officers coming forward (research LEAP: Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) 3) Turns human beings that have been put in jail due to marijuana use into private property, using them as free, or insanely cheap labor to produce products, or as they called it 300 years ago, slavery. and 4) Puts insanely large amounts of money into the hands of insanely evil, racist, and morally corrupt people...and those are the nice guys.

    • I am not sure which is a greater crime against humanity: the intentional perpetuation of a lie to cause destruction, or the perpetual attempt to conceal truths that will lead to peace and salvation. I do know that both are indeed crimes against humanity.

    • Those private prisons, and Cheney is heavily invested in them in Texas, are making millions locking up kids and minorities who have taken drugs.
      And the "privatized" Cheney types are making millions off the labor of the prisoners. MILLIONS. As they pay them wages of a few cents an hour.

      This is so corrupt and most people don't even know about it. They ruin lives for profit. They could spend it on rehab centers and drug education, but then the people like Dick Cheney would not make as much money off human sufferring.

    • Know this - Dupont is behind marijuana prohibition. They backed Hearst and Anslinger because they have nylon to sell, competition to hemp, as well as chemicals for drug manufacturers. Hearst newspapers sold out stories of pot crazed criminals, all phony. Anslinger used it as testimony!! The fed was conned into misclassifying marijuana as a narcotic. No medical research supports prohibition. We are left with the aftermath, civil rights violation to a safe herb. A wrong act to be righted.

    • LEAP Becomes Latest Victim of Government Censorship

      DATELINE: 8.26.2008

      Arlington: Virginia - Retired police detective, Howard Wooldridge, representing Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) was ousted from the National Asian Peace Officers Association (NAPOA) Conference in Crystal City because he was representing a view contrary U.S. government policy.

      LEAP is a 10,000-member organization of police, judges, prosecutors, DEA & FBI agents, and others who know ending drug prohibition will reduce death, disease, crime, and addiction, while saving billions of our tax dollars each year.

      On Tuesday (8.26.2008) acting under pressure from unnamed federal officials, Reagan Fong, President of the NAPOA, insisted on the immediate removal of LEAP from the conference vendor roster. It appears that some of the event’s other exhibitors took exception to the LEAP message and put pressure on the event organizer to expel LEAP from the event. While the incident was civil and took place prior to the second day’s session it represents a serious violation of Constitutional rights as cited within the First Amendment.

      Federal agency representatives manning booths at the conference included DEA, Federal Air Marshals, NCIS, and Coast Guard. The prior day LEAP’s spokesperson had visited the DEA booth and described the agent as “decidedly unhappy” with an opposing viewpoint. In sharp contrast at 37 national and international law enforcement Conferences where LEAP has been allowed to exhibit, 80% of booth visitors agreed with LEAP’s stance for ending this failed drug war.

      As for the Crystal City NAPOA incident, the appearance of impropriety is almost as bad as the real thing. LEAP has attempted to establish contact with Mr. Fong, NAPOA President, to confirm the details of the incident but we have received no response so we can only conclude it is blatant censorship originating from a judgmental “Big Brother” mentality. LEAP believes that this group owes us an apology. We ask that Mr. Fong identify the individual, agency or group that lobbied for our eviction from the event.

      If this was an independent effort then he or she was acting outside the scope of authority and should receive administrative punishment for unprofessional actions. If this action was sanctioned by upper level management then the managers need to explain their behavior in an open forum. If this was sanctioned official action by the U.S. Government it is a serious matter which requires serious and immediate attention.

    • Many police officers are asking the question: if prohibition didn't work for alcohol, why are we in denial about it working for other things? LEAP is a major initiative now, and gaining steam. Check out www.leap.cc for more.
