Since our Country's "War on (a certain few herbs and) Drugs" causes such carnage, devastation and so many deaths, in our towns and cities, I do hope that more and more people speak out about all the harm and all the deaths that our current Prohibition causes. Perhaps it's worth reminding folks about a few facts about our "Wars on Drugs." Our earlier Prohibition, raised our National Murder Rate from about 1.1 or 1.2 murders per 100,000 citizens …showed first 75 words of 651 total…

…showed last 75 words of 651 total…Drugs" has destroyed about 1,000,000 US families, by imprisonment alone, it also has drastically raised our present murder rate. For instance, just after 1964, when our then President, L.B. Johnson, ratcheted up our "War on Drugs", our National Murder Rate very quickly doubled. I hope this article helps some folks to think about these important topics, in a saner, more rational light, than how these topics are usually dealt with here in the USA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
