Global Commission calls "War on Drugs" a failure. Do you agree?
)
June 3rd, 2011
The report from the Global Commission on Drug Policy released yesterday. They suggest legalization and other less regressive strategies would work better. What’s your opinion?? How much do you think the for-profit prison industry factors into our insistence in long jail sentences for using recreational drugs? How right are US Civil Rights leaders who say that the difference in penalties for powder cocaine use (a mostly affluent white crime) and crack use (a mostly poor, black crime) are racially and not rationally motivated? How much does the “War on Drugs” cost your country each year? What would be the likely economic impact of ending the war and legalizing or decriminalizing drugs?
