The war on drugs has been a complete failure ever since Nixon and then Ronald Reagan tried to help it. Prison populations have sky rocketed and the drug problem has not been solved, it’s only gotten worse. Today we have more people hooked and dying on “legal” prescription drugs then we do on illegal drugs.

The Humanitarian Party does not think the war on drugs mission should be to incarcerate our citizens more in order to build a larger more profitable prison-Industrial complex. Instead we need to help and educate people more, while incarcerating less.

Humanitarians think drugs are a major problem in our society and the policies need to change to provide real solutions. People on drugs need help they do not need to be locked up in jails and prisons that do nothing but create lifetime criminals that degrade humanity and our society as a whole.

Drug Policy Changes

• Marijuana should be legalized and made available for all medical research
• Prescription drugs should be heavily regulated and not given out like candy
• Help drug users with education and employment opportunities
• Improve the poverty stricken areas with more employment opportunities
• Reduce maximum & mandatory sentences

The Humanitarian Party realizes that no solution will provide a perfect outcome, but if we can handle each situation with common sense and compassion, do what’s right for humanity the outcome will be good.

We have generations of work to do. There is not one person or one policy that will fix this. If we can get humanity to stop destroying and start helping within 15 years we will start to see a world where people will be able to travel and walk down any street. A world where we will not having starving children dying in their moms arms. A world where people are not dying by bombs being dropped from the sky. But we must start today!
