Taxes, drug war and education.

I hope that they have pushed the FWOD on us about as much as they can and that people are finally waking up to the damage that it has and is causing to our society. If you saw Nightline tonight, Koppel had Gary Johnson, the governor of New Mexico on and the topic was Narcan, an antidote for heroin addicts to use when they overdose. Johnson made the point that we should not encourage drug use, and should fight drug addiction with education and treatment and work on reducing the harm caused by addiction to the addict and society instead of simply destroying more and more of our fellow American's lives with the FWOD. He stated two or three times that if a person is smoking marijuana in their home and causing no harm to anyone else other than themselves, then we should not be throwing them in jail. He said that we are far past that. The Truth is out there and more people are discovering it everyday.
