10/29/2009 - War on Drugs

Published: Oct. 30, 2009, 2 a.m.

This week, we tackle the War on Drugs.  To any critically-thinking individual, this should be fairly straight-forward.  Government doesn't enact laws (like those that put is in prison for possession of a plant) for public safety or even for our own protection.  They do it because it appeases special interests.  We discuss the institution of drug criminalization, the pragmatic and violent problems these laws cause, and as always we lay out a few solutions.
