FUTILE DRUG POLICIES

As a former police officer I am a supporter of Law Enforcement 
Against Prohibition, an international organization of criminal 
justice professionals who bear personal witness to the wasteful 
futility and harms of our current drug policies.

Our combined experience on the front lines of the "war on drugs" has 
led us to call for a repeal of prohibition and its replacement with a 
tight system of legalized regulation, which will cripple the violent 
cartels and street dealers who control the current illegal market.

William Perry,

Victoria
