The greatest domestic policy failure of the last hundred years.

Black Americans are 600% more likely to be incarcerated for drug crimes, despite no greater usage and being less likely to sell than other races.

The US spends $47 billion annually enforcing drug laws.

1 in 5 ppl in jail are there on drug charges.

150,000 are dead, 73,000 more have “disappeared,” not counting those lost to drugs themselves as we ignore more efficient methods like treatment.

Black Americans count for 70% of mandatory minimum sentencing.
