Speakers at R.I. forum on marijuana, drug policy say 'war on drugs' is failing
By Linda BorgPROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The war on drugs has not only failed, it has been disastrous for thousands of youth and families, who have been jailed, kicked out of school and denied meaningful work.
The speakers here agreed that the war on drugs, launched by President Nixon in the early 1960s, has not accomplished any of its goals: it hasn't reduced the quantity of drugs on the market, it hasn't decreased drug use among the young and it hasn't reduced the violence associated with drug cartels.

The drug policy clearly defeats its purpose when it leads to the destruction, and not reformation, of the youth.
