DON'T STOP THERE

The drug war isn't working. In fact, it is ruining lives, careers and 
families, and it is an enormous waste of tax dollars. We need to focus on 
treatment instead of imprisonment. The war on drugs has increased the 
likelihood of racial profiling, which disproportionately affects people of 
color.

I hope the Free Press continues to take policy makers to task on this issue 
and demand fairness and logic when dealing with drug problems.
