Drugs should all be legalized at the federal level,
We should but it’s unlikely anytime soon.

Very much so. The war on drugs has done wonders to continue the joys of Jim Crow under yet another name. Even if there was a full stop now it would be generations before those affected were back on level. Unless the government went nuts and actually approved something like reparations but that’s a pipe dream.

Is it any wonder that the same people who won’t end the relic of Jim Crow that is the filibuster also won’t end the racist war on drugs?
