A plan to stop drug use

# data[].attributes.body
The war on drugs has changed the U.S. criminal justice system by establishing harsher consequences for drug offenses which is turning our country into the world's leader in incarceration. Some state governments are even reconsidering the war on drugs because their incarceration population is rising in their state and would much likely want to reduce it.

The war on drugs has made the US criminal justice system racist. The plan mainly targets black communities.

the war on drugs is a where the govo try to make alcohol illegal

# data[].attributes.body
an eviction of drugs and drug usage

# data[].attributes.body
Possibly, considering that black communities aren't likely to use or sell drugs, but they are most likely to be arrested and incarcerated for drug offenses. Meaning either that the law focuses on looking over the minority communities or simply meaning that non colored people just move a bit more surreptitious as to colored people might be more open about it.

# data[].attributes.body
the war on drugs is a failure

It could reduce the massive rise for incarceration.

Tobacco and alcohol are excluded from the war on drugs because they  have a detrimental impact on individual health and society as a whole. It has also been an acceptable drug in the U.S. for hundreds of years. They shouldn't be illegal because if they prohibit these 2 drugs then our economy will drop and many will lose their job.

# data[].attributes.headline

The case for decriminalizing drugs is that drugs will become more popular in society and more than likely in our future's childhood generation also.

The war on drugs should continue  because these addicts wont ever learn what it's like to work for their habit and will just have everything given to them as that's not the way of life and the way you view things because soon enough their mentality will expect things to be given to them by just sitting around(Harm reduction). The most harmless drug(marijuana) should be legalized so maybe addicts will just hop on that instead of being stuck in their ways to get their drug that is causing more and more damage to themselves.
