Cowboy Cop Rides Across America Calling for End to Drug Prohibition

Current and former members of law enforcement recently created Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a new drug-policy reform group that believes the United States' drug policies have failed and that to save lives, lower the rate of addiction, and conserve tax dollars, we must end drug prohibition. LEAP believes a system of regulation and control is more effective than one of prohibition. (link)

Yeeehaw.

Here's another law enforcer who wants to legalize drugs (link)
