Ron Paul Calls Drug War A Total Failure

During the CNN/Heritage Foundation debate Ron Paul explained his views on Americas war on drugs. Paul said, “The federal war on drugs is a total failure, at least let sick people have marijuana.” Paul wonders, “why don’t we handle the drugs like we handle alcohol? Alcohol is a deadly drug. What about… the real deadly drugs are the prescription drugs. They kill a whole lot more people than the illegal drugs.” Ron Paul concludes, “it just doesn’t work.”
