Something Is Wrong
Here are some interesting quotes from American Judges who don't like mandatory minimums for drug offenses.
Judge Morris S. ArnoldThat is only one quote. There are more.
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals
Appointed by George H.W. Bush, 1992
"You may say that I said that many of our drug laws are scandalously draconian and the sentences are often savage. You may also quote me as saying the war on drugs has done considerable damage to the Fourth Amendment and that something is very wrong indeed when a person gets a longer sentence for marijuana than for espionage."
The Drug War shreds our Constitution and wastes resources. Apparently there are some folks in government who actually understand that we are in a real war and that the Drug War is a waste.
