DESCRIPTION:\n\nKaren Goldstein attends a rally for Florida Attorney General candidate, 
 \nJim Lewis, who is running on a platform of legalizing marijuana on 
 October 12,  2010\nin Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Lewis believes that 
 legalizing the drug will save the state \nhundreds of millions of dollars 
 that can be redirected for spending on education, \nenvironment, and other 
 necessary items. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\nBack in 1971, 
 President Richard Nixon declared a "war on drugs."  With $2.5 trillion 
 dollars spent, drug use is half of what it was 30 years ago.  Thousands of 
 offenders are successfully diverted to treatment instead of jail.  But 22 
 million Americans still use illegal drugs.  The U.S. has the highest 
 incarceration rate in the world much of it for drugs. \n\n\n\nA US-trained

 crop-spraying plane flies past, during an anti-drug operation \nin an

 The racial disparities are staggering: despite the fact that whites engage 
 in drug offenses at a higher rate than African-Americans, African-Americans 
 are incarcerated for drug offenses at a rate that is 10 times greater than 
 that of whites." ~ American Civil Liberties Union\n\n\n\n\nFor legalizing 
 drugs:\nPaul Butler, who is a Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law 
 Center and Nick Gillespie, who is Editor in Chief of Reason.tv and 
 Reason.com\n\n\n\n\n\nAgainst legalizing drugs:\nAsa Hutchinson, who is a 
 former Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration and Theodore 
 Dalrymple, who is the Dietrich Weismann Fellow at the Manhattan 
 Institute.\nSource: intelligence2 Debates: Legalize Drugs\n\n\n\nPrivacy on
