End the War on Drugs

End the War on Drugs, decrease the power and influence of the Black market, and protect individual rights and choices

Why is this important?

The War on Drugs has been an attempt of the United States Government to deter drug use and trafficking with strict laws, enforcement, and sentencing. The problem is that many people have been thrown into prison and saw their futures disappear for simply making personal decisions which affect nobody but themselves. The black market, which consists of powerful global drug cartels, has benefited in this billion dollar market and have caused crime rates to explode. In my opinion it is one's own civil right to consume drugs, no matter how bad, as long as nobody else is hurt. Despite the war on drugs, drug use remains high, cartels remain powerful, and billions of dollars have been invested in a problem that cannot be cured through enforcement. The only way to win the war on drugs is to end it.
