War on Drugs

Back in 2010, I took a class in which we were required to write a massive research paper. I decided to write my paper on why the War on Drugs should be ended. Since that paper was written, various steps have been taken to defy the federal government's steps taken to continue the War. For example, if you haven't been living under a rock for the past six months, many of you may have heard of the recent legislation if Washington and Colorado that has essentially legalized marijuana use.

Besides these baby steps taken to inch the repeal of the War closer along, more and more publications and articles are coming out which give voice to the majority of American's who want the war to end in its entirety.

The ACLU recently came out with this chart regarding the drug war. Take a look for yourself and decide if you think it's as shocking as I do.
