The drug war is based on a repugnant assertion: that you do not have ownership over your own body; that you don't have the right to decide what you'll do with your body, with your property and with your life. The position of the drug warriors is that you should be in jail if you decide to do something with your body that they don't approve of.
This is an abomination of everything that America is supposed to stand for. As long as this country continues the drug war, you are not free. At the root, then, those that force the drug war on you are enemies to your freedom.
If you are concerned at all about liberty, the economy, the Constitution and the power of the Federal Government - you cannot ignore the US government's longest and most costly "war" - the War on Drugs.
But no matter how long it lasts, how much is costs, how many lives are disrupted, and how much it fails - the war rages on.
Why? Well, because Federal "authorities" don't care what your local laws are, they don't care what your personal choices are, and they don't care what reason you have for your choices.
All they care about is their own power. Period.
In this ongoing drug war, you are always treated as a suspect and your neighborhood is much less safe. You are searched at airports and your bank accounts are spied on. While drug users who are no physical threat to anyone but themselves are put in jail, the prisons become more and more overcrowded, resulting in the early release of violent criminals on a regular basis.
If you love your freedom and you want your city to be safer, this psychotic war on drugs must be ended - now.
