Recreational #marijuana is legal in California, now that the #warondrugs has left millions in its wake. @SusanBurtonLA was interviewed by @bryonnbain for this episode of @trtworld's "Route 66" about the toll the drug war has taken on communities of color. https://t.co/90FhhsOipW

Overshadowed by the #opioid crisis, #cocaine has quietly made a comeback. It’s the No. 2 killer among illicit drugs in the U.S. and kills more African-Americans than heroin does. https://t.co/xhNJdx5QgL

Our criminal justice system is focused on punitive justice. In a restorative justice model, we look at who was harmed, how they were affected, and what can make them whole. — Matthew Zernhelt #SSDP2018

[Kat Murti @KatMurti]

I don’t think we do enough promoting of the drug decriminization experiment in Portugal. I still run into people who’ve never heard about it, and it’s such an important study. — @NeillFranklin #SSDP2018

The War on Frugs isn’t about drugs; it’s about money. Law enforcement makes money off the drug war by making arrests. They’re not going after Tony Montana’s anymore; they’re just going after low-level arrests. —Attorney Lance Block #SSDP2018

[Kat Murti @KatMurti]

The War on Drugs is killing people. It’s not getting people off drugs. It’s not saving them or protecting them from harm. It’s getting them murdered. — Lance Block #SSDP2018

The War on Drugs is a failure. It’s just bad policy. It doesn’t work. We know that. — Retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal @MarshalFogg at #SSDP2018

[Howard SSDP @SSDP_Howard]
