Start with a revolution on this war
on drugs and decriminalize all drugs. Freddie Gray was charged over a dozen
times with narcotics possession which meant each of those times he had to deal
with cops. Look it, I don’t do “illegal” drugs myself nor would I ever but no
matter how you want to slice it drug possession and drug use is both
non-violent and does not infringe upon the rights of others. This should be
enough of an argument, but dig further and fact is 5 times as many white people
are using drugs as blacks, yet black people are sent to prison for drug
offenses at 10 times the rate of white people so the entire system is biased at
its core. Looking at Portugal as an
example of a country that decriminalized all drugs 14 years ago, the country has
shown promise. http://mic.com/articles/110344/14-years-after-portugal-decriminalized-all-drugs-here-s-what-s-happening
