foxnews.com— Judge Andrew Napolitano is not your typical FoxNews host, he bashes the drug laws against marijuana and interviews Paul Armantano of NORML.

Prohibition of drugs is one of the worst problems in this country. Billions are wasted on it, millions are locked up, many die or are hurt, and a whole industry becomes employed on the basis of snooping on other Americans, seeing if they have a certain type of plant or plant derivative and then capturing them. It's insanity.
My 23 year old son is facing a YEAR of probation, FIRST offense for anything for traveling in someone else's car in the passenger seat! His friend was driving and got pulled over (Pasco County, Florida) and was asked if cop could search the car and they found a small amount under the passenger seat!The cop told them that they would ALL go to jail that night unless someone owned up to it! My son stepped up and took the blame, even though it wasn't his because his friend who was driving the car (his best friend at the time, he soon after stabbed my son in the back because he is also a pill head nutcase) had just been arrested for Domestic Violence for hitting his pregnant girlfriend and my son didn't want his friend to go to jail again (the driver, not my son) and my son didn't want his girlfriend to go to jail because she had to work the next morning, This is a great money maker for the city, county and state and the federal government, that is why they won't legalize it! A LOT of cops, judges, lawyers and everyday people smoke for many reasons, but alcohol is legal and people are KILLED every day because of DRUNK DRIVERS! When was the last time you heard of someone causing an accident simply because they were stoned, WITHOUT alcohol involved??? If anything, it makes you more careful, heightens your awareness and most people are smart enough to NOT get behind the wheel when they're stoned!Our government is FULL of hypocrites, from the top down! This is a PLANT that God put on this earth for us to use, as the Chinese have been doing for over 5,000 years!
Like it or not its not just about keeping the minorities down anymore. It's a war against us all man, against our freedom.Sure it started with the blacks and mexicans but that wasn't enough to satisfy the beast and now it is consuming us all, fortunately we are beginning to see it bite the hand that feeds it and hopefully soon they'll see that if they don't destroy it, it will eat them alive.

"The Drug War" should be renamed "The War on Inner City Minorities".
