Drug Policy Change

The US has 5% of the world's population. The hearts and souls of many patriotic Americans are crying over the fact that here in, "the land of the free," we have 25% of the world's prison population (and growing by the hour). A drug-free America is an unattainable utopian delusion. It is within our power to change policies that prevent self-government. Let's never say, "The vision of a free America, might have been."
