A Huge Idea

A proposal to Obama - end the drug war and lower the drinking age.

I've come around on the drug war issue. From what I understand, illegal drugs are the primary source of funding criminal and political violence around the world. From Columbia to Mexico to Afghanistan, drugs fund terrorists and enormous criminal cartels. These non-state groups are the major threat to world stability in the 21st century and it is only a matter of time before one of these type of groups gets their hands on WMDs as an offensive or defensive measure. Despite the obvious moral issue with legalizing drugs, the pragmatic benefit of cutting off billions of dollars from these groups, cannot be underestimated. Further, illegal drugs ruin sections of entire American cities, putting "fuck you" money into hands of thugs and criminals.

We can't stop drug use. The government is not the right tool for this job. We should acknowledge this, and look at the blow back, and start moving forward. CHANGE!
