LEAP

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition

2.9/5 stars (6097 votes)

Who better to ask about the War on Drugs than the men and women who spent their careers on the front lines of that war?

"Founded on March 16, 2002, LEAP is made up of current and former members of the law enforcement and criminal justice communities who are speaking out about the failures of our existing drug policies. Those policies have failed, and continue to fail, to effectively address the problems of drug abuse, especially the problems of juvenile drug use, the problems of addiction, and the problems of crime caused by the existence of a criminal black market in drugs.

By continuing to fight the so-called "War on Drugs", the US government has worsened these problems of society instead of alleviating them. A system of regulation and control of these substances (by the government, replacing the current system of control by the black market) would be a less harmful, less costly, more ethical and more effective public policy."

    Compassion centers must be allowed to open in RI

    s been over two years since the General Assembly passed legislation creating compassion centers in Rhode Island. In that time, Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Arizona, and New Jersey have all enacted laws allowing for regulated dispensing of medical marijuana. All of these states, with the exception of Arizona, are moving forward with giving patients the humane option of safe access, despite the fact that the laws irk officials in D.C. Please, email the governor. Respectfully explain that he is wrong on this move. Ask him to reconsider.
