There is no evidence that the war on drugs has made the American people safer, more healthy, or more free. Contrarily, prohibition has proven to yield some catastrophic results. Incredible numbers of otherwise law-abiding citizens have had their lives destroyed due to corrupt anti-drug laws which protect the pharmaceutical and private prison industries. Families have been torn apart and patients have been denied medical treatment options such as cannabis oil for seizures due to these failed policies and hysteria surrounding drug use.
Former police Chief Norm Stamper agrees and has been fighting the failing war on drugs for over a decade. Norm spent most of his life serving as an officer for the San Diego Police Department from 1966-1994. He later became Seattle Police Chief from 1994-2000, and now he works as an advisory board member for LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).
