So I was thinking with all the global turmoil, Terrorism, Gaza, Separation of Texas, ect...
Why is America still waging a losing war on Drugs? There are better options.
So I made a petition and now I ask MMO-C what is your opinion on the War on Drugs?
Facts:
over 2.3 million people are in prison in the United States, This gives us the highest number and highest percentage of population in prison.
The majority of people in Prison are there on drug related offenses.
It costs $24k a year per prisoner. Which means $55.2Billion on prisoners.
Mexican cartels reap $18 billion to $39 billion from drug sales in the United States each year. All tax free, or a lost $1billion+ a year in lost taxes, not counting local sales taxes, just the tax on profits.
