EMPTY PACKED PRISONS BY ENDING DRUG WAR

I have a common-sense and easy solution to prison and jail 
overcrowding: Reserve these cells for only those who intentionally 
harm others against their will.

Not gardeners. Not people who use, produce or sell to willing buyers 
"unapproved" products.

Re-legalize our now illegal drugs so they can be sold in legal, 
licensed and regulated business establishments. Will this solve our 
drug problems? No.

However, it will substantially reduce our crime rates and 
substantially increase public safety.
