War on Drugs is a failure like Prohibition
“This war on drugs has been a detriment to personal liberty and it’s been a real abuse of liberty,” Paul said. “Our prisons are full with people who have used drugs who should be treated as patients — and they’re non-violent. Someday we’re gonna awake and find out that the prohibition we are following right now with drugs is no more successful, maybe a lot less successful, than the prohibition of alcohol was in the ’20s.”
Ron Paul is right about this. Look at the crime associated with Prohibition (Anyone see Boardwalk Empire, or The Untouchables?) and look at the crime associated with Drug Laws.
