It has become
tremendously challenging to find physicians who are willing to
prescribe controlled substances for treating people especially those
from minority groups with chronic disorders. Everything our physicians
do is weighed against protecting their jobs and not their
patients! If there is no value in it for them and yet they believe
the patient really does need help, physicians will dispatch health
educators who direct patients to healthcare alternatives, including
illicit drug dealers, and with only one clandestine meth lab in many
states
these patients and self-medicators are forced to use drugs that are not
FDA-approved and are inconsistent in quality. It's about time that
the US government set the stage for success and not failure.

COPS
SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS!
ASK US WHY

After
nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs
with over a trillion tax dollars and 37 million arrests for
nonviolent drug offenses, our confined population has quadrupled
making building prisons the fastest growing industry in the
United States. More than 2.2 million of our citizens are
currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional
1.9 million more guaranteeing those prisons will be bursting at
their seams. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost
U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives
we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, today illicit
drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they
were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs.
Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug
barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before.
We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition
of a failed public policy. This madness must cease!

Law enforcement
officials have stated that methamphetamine or other drugs are not
related to increases in robberies or burglaries or even domestic
violence. If the general public was using drugs they would be too
preoccupied to engage in crime, it's just common sense. The
formula for crime is a lack of drugs, a lack of jobs, law
enforcement that's overburdened by the war on drugs, and a lack of
political leadership. Criminal activity trickles down from the
top.
Law
enforcement officials have warned us that by turning drugs into a crime,
protection against other crimes is decreased as law enforcement becomes
overburdened.
The US already
has the largest prison population in the world because of zero
tolerance. In fact, the US is known throughout the world as
"Incarceration Nation", with over 2.2 million convicted
offenders who leave behind broken families. It takes a corrupt
government of evil cowards to turn drugs into a crime, to keep the
disabled unemployed without medication, to establish a national police
force, as our leaders focus on waging wars against sovereign nations.
For 36 years,
the US government has indoctrinated the American public, leading the
world to believe that drugs will destroy society, while our justice
and healthcare systems mold decent citizens into criminals by
tainting medical records, siphoning money from those who don't have it,
setting the stage for failure over and over, offering no protection for
the citizens it targets to become criminal puppets . Our legal
system fails to protect the rights of US citizens, causing them
harm. It's no wonder that the US government rejects Harm
Reduction: They are fearful of losing their jobs... It's
time that we stopped lying to ourselves and to our children. The
war on drugs is self-destruction.
