As we hear the news from America recently that a 46-year old restaurant worker with several children is now serving a 25 year prison sentence for selling pain medication to a police informant, it has become increasingly clear that the War on Drugs has gone too far. This is a government policy that incarcerates many inner-city blacks, and is therefore unequal in its application. People are going to prison for comparatively minor crimes, and causing great economic and personal loss to the communities they are from. It is time to end this policy and focus on rational harm minimization policies that do not treat users and low-end sellers like criminals.
