Mr. President, fix our broken drug policy
By Joy Strickland, Special to CNN
Americans deserve a drug policy based on science, compassion and equity. Instead, we have a policy that ignores science, increases harm, and is rife with contradictions. ...
... Federal legalization would protect our children from drugs in a way that law enforcement can't, eliminate the penalty gap from state to state for drug possession, and mark the beginning of the end to mass incarceration.
On behalf of my family
and the millions who have been victimized by the drug war, I urge the
president to give this critical issue the time and attention it
deserves.
