The Drug War Is against the Wrong Target
February 27, 2014
According to Dr. Mercola, “Deaths caused by overdosing on painkillers now surpass murders and fatal car accidents in the US.” The war on marijuana and other “illegal” drugs is against the wrong target. If those in the U.S. government had half a brain, they would wage war against painkillers instead of pot and cocaine. But that’s government for you. All drugs should be legal, with no prescription required. See my The War on Drugs Is a War on Freedom.
