Philadelphia Saves $2 Million in Tax Dollars for Not Prosecuting Pot Possession

I have been saying for a long time anytime the government declares war on something, whether it be drugs or terrorism, it's really a war on your rights. As I have come to realize this, I see Obama, through Fast and Furious further enforcing this by giving drug cartels American weapons all to push his anti-Second Amendment agenda. The drug war is being used to kill the Constitution.

Here's some news coming out of Philadelphia:

This time last year, we reported on the success of drug decriminalization in Portugal ten years earlier. But if there's any doubt that decriminalization would be as effective here in America, look no further than the more recent success of Philadelphia, which effectively decriminalized marijuana possession in small amounts last June. One year later, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams estimates the city has saved $2 million.

When not only marijuana, but all drugs, were decriminalized in Portugal a decade ago, "there were warnings the policy would be disastrous and that the country would become a European haven for drugs tourism." Everyone's worst fears turned out in the end to be unfounded. As we reported last year, after a decade of drug decriminalization, none of the dire predictions came to pass:

"Portugal has not only managed to avoid becoming a festering, unsavory trainwreck of rampant drug addiction and ruined lives- its drug situation has actually improved. By all indications, the country has more positive statistics on drug use than any other in the Eurozone as well as compared to the United States."
