don't get me wrong that's a benefit.

but the war on drugs is nothing short of a human rights violation.
the laws are unevenly enforced, they have life shattering consequences for humans,
and what's more-- the laws don't curb drug use.

whites use drugs at the same rate as blacks, even though
white ppl are much less likely to be penalized for doing it.


we have to give the drug war a face.
the war, in and of itself, is the tragedy.

it's not about how we can benefit if ends
it's about the fact that letting it continue is unconscionable.
