Which candidate do you think will do the most about drug reform?

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

Poor Kucinich had the best platforms out of all of them, but I'm thinking that it just may not happen.

The other three are sort of lame. I've looked at them and their backgrounds, but none of them seem to have put terribly much thought into it.

So, which one would you trust with a complete overhaul on the drug policy?

[Angela Shelley]

1. In regards to drugs as medication or drugs for fun?

2. Kucinich

the rest are lame, just as you say

[Murdock]

3. None of the above

At best we'll get status quo. Perhaps if we get a Democrat at best they'll refocus the feds from raiding medical marijuana grow-ops in California.

If we get a Republican especially Guiliani it'll be at least as and probably even more draconian than current policy.

It's not even on the radar for this election and I don't think there's much incentive for change at this point.

5. There's too much money in marijuana, on both sides of the equation.

The government makes insane amounts of money off property seizure, the courts, lawyers and law enforcement stay busy, the drug companies keep developing expensive, dangerous drugs to mimic the same effects and the private prison corporations continue to grow.

If anyone is under any illusion about the Clintons involvement with the DLC and corporations, the doubling of the U.S. prison population, as well as the benefit to the above mentioned, under eight years of Bill Clinton is a textbook example.

Ending the war on drugs would cost at least as many jobs as a flat tax and abolishing the IRS. It ain't gonna happen.

4. If Kucinich isn't elected, don't expect much

Not even medical marijuana. The "War on Drugs" is just too much fun for the government--another tool for them to evade the Constitution and trample over people's rights (like the time the sheriff went around looking in everyone's house without a warrant because "someone smelled a meth lab" when there were no strange odors in the air).
