For many of us who already understand the unintended consequences of the “War On Drugs” this video covers most of the main arguments; however, it puts it in a way that I think almost any rational thinking person could understand.
At the very least those who are still for the WODs must acknowledge that it hasn’t come without its fair share of consequences. In fact, it would be hard to prove that the WODs has been working at all. It certainly hasn’t succeeded in deterring others from experimenting with drugs and, if anything, it has only added more dangers to society by creating a black market and an environment susceptible to gangs, violence, and other criminal behavior.
One could of course make an argument for WOD reform, but it isn’t nearly as compelling as the argument to just get rid of prohibition entirely. America’s past history with alcohol prohibition is the best example anyone will ever need that drug prohibition simply doesn’t work: it doesn’t make people safer, and it doesn’t get people to make healthier decisions.
We are going to need to change our approach if we have any desire to build a better society.
Yes, I definitely agree. Prohibition doesn't seem to solve the problem. I remember when Alcohol was prohibited. It only made matters worse.
@Bigshoes
what other solution do you have?
This is will definitely depends on mans approach to this prohibition, if they have the willingness to follow, it comes from within.
we are in the dark ages!! Your right, we need to let the people choose to be better and they will!! if its not forbidden it wont seem so sweet!!
HI !
Another segment on Fox News' Freedom Watch about the War On Drugs. I think anyone can watch this video and understand, with empirical evidence, that the WODs simply doesn't work.

If at all people will want to stop or change a ‘bad’ behavior they must have to begin the fight from within themselves and that is how it can work. But the other fighting that is only displayed on the outside ends up causing more danger on the society and endangering lives more and more.
