The laws are unconstitutional and need to be repealed. Like prohibition the more the government interferes with people's lives the worse things get. If we repeal the drug laws half the prisons would be closed.

Why would they close them when they are now being privatized so they can make money off people in prison? Even Cheney owns a piece of the prison action
