Antiquated drug laws & the negative right wing of the GOP...

With overcrowding incarceration rates in prison - along with unsustainable costs - one would think that the light bulb would turn on with the 'punitive,

negative right wing of the GOP' and force them to rethink their 'war on drugs'. But it hasn't happened yet. Just think about it realistically for once. How many able bodied people - especially in the minority community - do we take out of a tax payer role and turn them into a 'ward of the State' that we must pay for, because of antiquated drug laws? But I guess it is just too much to ask for the 'in the past' GOP supporters to actually think about that.
