3 Former Latin American Presidents Urge End to Drug War


Here lays an interesting piece about a rational and sane approach to dealing with black market drugs and the drug trade.

We in the U.S. need to be vocal in our disgust for a failed and painfully expensive policy. We can no longer afford prohibition. For more, see the new widget on the right.
