Comment What do you mean by "End the War on Drugs"? (Score -1) 1478

The following points were displayed on your website:
1) End the War on Drugs which targets young black men
2) End the War on Drugs allowing law enforcement to pursue real criminals

In 2002 alone, there were 102,000,000 emergency department visits by patients as a result of drugs.

How do you justify ending this war when it affects dependent individuals such as children? I can only see law enforcement as the right first step to intervene in most drug related cases.

Also, the laws do not target black individuals. They affect black individuals because they choose to break the law, pretty simple.
