End the Drug War

In the first ever US Senate Libertarian candidates forum, Sean Haugh outlined several areas where his views contrasted with those of his opponent, Tim D'Annunzio, including:

The Drug War (Haugh would end it; D'Annunzio is ambivalent)
Immigration (Haugh favors free movement across borders; D'Annunzio advocates curbs on immigration)
US military intervention abroad (Haugh opposes it; D'Annunzio believes there are circumstances where it is justified)

War on drugs is a war on our own people

Both candidates agree the federal government should not be involved in enacting and enforcing drug laws, though D'Annunzio said an argument might be made that drugs could be regulated as interstate commerce. He said he is "on the fence" with drug legalization, especially illegal drugs that are more powerful than marijuana, but that decision should rest with the states.

"The war on drugs is a war, not only on our own people now, but a war between the state and federal governments," said Haugh, who favors releasing all nonviolent prisoners jailed on drug charges. The country has shifted too far when militarized police SWAT teams raid homes because someone is smoking a plant, he said.
