►History has shown that drug prohibition reduces neither use nor abuse. ►After a rapist is arrested, there are fewer rapes. After a drug dealer is arrested, however, neither the supply nor the demand for drugs is seriously changed. ►The arrest merely creates a job opening for an endless stream of drug entrepreneurs who will take huge risks for the sake of the enormous profits created by prohibition.►Prohibition costs taxpayers tens of billions of dollars every year, yet 40 years and some 40 million arrests later, drugs are cheaper, more potent and far more widely used than at the beginning of this futile crusade.

►We at L.E.A.P.(Law Enforcement Against Prohibition)( www.leap.cc )believe that by eliminating prohibition of all drugs for adults and establishing appropriate regulation and standards for distribution and use, law enforcement could focus more on crimes of violence, such as rape, aggravated assault, child abuse and murder, making our communities much safer. ►We believe that sending parents to prison for non-violent personal drug use destroys families. ►We believe that in a regulated and controlled environment, drugs will be safer for adult use and less accessible to our children. ►And we believe that by placing drug abuse in the hands of medical professionals instead of the criminal justice system, we will reduce rates of addiction and overdose deaths. shilajit-resin.com/ | en france acheter cialis sur internet
