IL: County Libertarian Party Calls for Legalization of Marijuana

From the McHenry County LP blog:

It is a known fact to everyone except law enforcement and the judicial system that the war on drugs is lost and over.  Prohibition failed in it's goals and actually fueled the problems that Capone style organized crime caused. History is a good teacher and at times arm chair QBing also works in post-game football; but not for the Feds. Loss after loss with evidence mounted overwhelmingly still has no effect on the blind politicians, law makers and police organizations.

The judicial system and jails are crushed by the burden of petty drug violations. Drug abuse is always wrong, but still a personal choice, just like alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse.

Medical Marijuana is mired down with conflicting state and federal regulations. We spend billions on this failed war on drugs based off of no credible research or validation, where as based off of guess, urban legend, myth and hysteria but people run right along side singing it's praises.

It's time we say enough’s enough with the waste of money, resources and human potential.
