Former judge calls drug war a ‘failure’:

“North Carolina should consider decriminalizing illegal drugs as it tries to stem the need for additional prisons, a former state Supreme Court chief justice said Monday.Burley Mitchell, the state’s top judge from 1995 to 1999, said the war on drugs in North Carolina and nationwide has been ‘a total failure’ that has filled up prisons. “

‘Bout time.

Pot should be legal. It’s stupid that it isn’t.
