Today we spend over $100 billion a year fighting the War on Drugs – we’ve spent $1T since its inception - and the problem has only gotten worse, not better.🧵

We need to end the Drug War and change the paradigm from criminality to recovery. For a fraction of what we spend on the drug war, we could create a recovery-based health model and actually take on the problem.

Half of our incarcerated population are nonviolent drug offenders. It needs to stop. Drugs should be legalized and regulated. The war on drugs has been a war on people. When I am President this is going to change.

You’re either naive or misinformed. Drugs are a war on people. Those who are victims of addiction first fell victim to the lie that drug use is harmless, and that they wouldn’t get addicted.

Why are you saying “when I’m president”? You’re candidacy never had traction.

Come to Portland, Oregon. Drug decriminalization has been an objective failure because…addicts here simply don’t want to utilize recovery services. So, we’ve just enabled self-destructive behavior with all of the wider, anti-social consequences that come with.
