Re: Mr. Lucky: Obama's Drug Use Could Have Sunk Him

If an undercover cop had happened to be among Obama's party buddies back in his wild days, it's a safe bet he wouldn't be where he is now. Who knows what other potential activists, teachers, and leaders we have derailed by throwing so many people in jail? Obama's example proves that by locking up so many petty drug users, we all lose.
I love the last paragraph of this article. It's so true, if just one tiny incident involving law enforcement had taken place, he would not be hear today about to kick the shit out of McCain!

That aside, this was just a great article all around. Besides the staggering number of non-violent drug users in prison we could consider the recent uprising of nation wide drug acceptance a feat. But clearly we still have a long way to go to protect those respectable citizens still using drugs and having their lives crumble before them for possession charges.
