DRUG REFORM

The most pressing issue of law is the war on drugs. It eats federal
funding for crime prevention, jails 100,000 people for non-violent
acts yearly and affects minorities disproportionately. Taxation,
regulation, and a harm reduction strategy would lower deficits,
improve civil liberties and help politically stabilize Latin America.
