It’s time to end America’s War on Drugs. Initiated in 1971, we have spent $1 trillion and it has only exacerbated the problem. 1/4

In the 1970s there were 300,000 people in US prisons; today there are 2.3 million. Almost half of all federal prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders. 2/4

We should treat drugs not as a criminal issue but as a health issue (such as in nations like Portugal.) For a fraction of the $100 billion we spend a year on the War on Drugs, we could pay for a world-class network of recovery options that actually help people get sober. 3/4

As president I don’t want a Drug Czar; I want a Recovery Czar. 4/4 Here is my drug policy: marianne2024.com/issues/drug…

Drug Policy

Last year, 109,680 people in the US died from drugs, and every year that number has been rising. Add up all the motor vehicle fatalities and all the gun…

Keep running and push these policies. @deanbphillips you seem like a decent guy but you lack policies like this. Prohibition doesn’t work and harms more than it helps. Prohibition makes it so criminals control the drug supply. Regulating would eliminate drugs laced with fentanyl

Stupid idea. This woman intentionally plowed into a cop while driving the wrong way and high on marijuana. She mentors kids to stay off drugs! WTH?! So pathetic. Hope she spends many years behind bars!

One candidate wants to execute drug dealers. And its not Biden.

FACT: In China, drug dealers are executed so there’s no drug problem in China whatsoever. I’m good with that. Drug dealers are basically murderers without guns. Has Marianne Williamson ever admitted to marijuana, heroin, LSD, cocaine, pills, barbiturate, alcoholic use?

The “war on drugs” is a war on Black ppl. The majority of prisoners are Black. The majority of the US (70%) is white. No way should there be more of us locked up than the majority. 13% of US population is not more criminal than the 70%. We just get charged & incarcerated more.

I was forcibly relocated to southern california (long story). I am so for decriminalization and have voted such all my life. But we have a right to open our window and not have our apartment flooded with horrible marijuana smoke. It's this entire city. It's awful.
