Obama Starts A Civil War On Drugs

California legalized medical marijuana for seriously ill patients in 1996 and it is now legal in 16 states and DC.  However, the Obama Administration wants to shut down pot dispensaries in California.

Obama's renewed 'War on Drugs' is ironically led by the Department of Justice while they are currently trying to cover-up the Gunwalker/Fast & Furious scandal that involves the federal government handing military-style assault weapons over to Mexican drug cartels.  The guns have been used to murder people on both sides of the border.

More than 42,000 people have been killed in drug related violence in Mexico since their president Felipe Calderon stepped up his 'War on Drugs' in 2006.

Legalization of drugs will end drug trade related violence.

The US 'War on Drugs' is an abject failure that costs US taxpayers $15 billion a year, or $500 a second.  The 'War on Drugs' has wrongly imprisoned tens of millions of non-violent American drug users and costs taxpayers almost $200 billion a year.
