I am one of those who believes the “War on Drugs” has a racist component to it, given how the drug laws are enforced and punished.

There are plenty of well documented biases in punishment, often resulting from poor legal defense; but when you generalize like that you seem to ignore just how prevalent drug dealing is in many black communities.

I have seen it and watched it and experienced it first hand. Entire neighborhoods in on the action and doing deals with their little kids playing next to them. They destroy property values and drive decent people, black and white, out and incidentally destroy any possibility of the dealers ever going straight and working legally.

I say legalize pot and allow other drugs on controlled prescription.
