In 2011, 50.8 percent of Federal inmates are incarcerated for drug offenses. This compares to just 4.2 percent for robbery, 2.7 percent for homicide/assault/kidnapping, and 4.7 percent for sex offenses. The US has the largest prison population per person than any other nation in the World.

In the last decade, due almost solely to the surge in drug-related arrests, US prisons are massively overcrowded and underfunded. The rehabilitation aspect of incarceration is slim to nil.

Every year 15000 Americans Die because of the War on Drugs. To put this is prospective.....Since the Iraq war between 200 to 1500 American Soldiers die in the Iraq War.

In 2011 the US spend over 23 BILLION dollars of your tax money to support the War on Drugs.

Now do you think that supporting a candidate because of how they stand on the War on Drugs foolish?

If so......I must be a real idiot!! LoL!
