Yet another thing i disagree with. The punishment should fit the crime, regrardless of your past. Just like the 3 strike law, in some states people are being sentenced to life for shopplifting. Does that make sence? I saw a cop show were a guy was facing life casue he was arrested with crack (felony), ran from the cops(felony) and assulted a cop, aka a cop ran into his car(felony).......he was black. Just the stopping the hundres that die in drug related police chaces is worth legalizing drugs.
of coarse people are gonna run if they may face years behind bars for a small rock of crack.
If we didnt fill up the prison system up with no-violent offenders we could lock up those who steal, kill, rape, or break any other JUST law.
America has its prioritys mixed up.
we can even keep drugs out of our prisions, why wast billions on trying to keep it out of the entire country, it will never happen. And history will look back on the "war on drugs" like we look back on slavery now.
Face it man, the deciminalization of all drugs is the best/only option to make things better.
