<description>We need the stop the war on drugs. It is driving young adults that naturally seek to experience safe altered conscience states to more dangerous drugs. When will american's wake up and realize that young people coming of age have been seeking these experiences since the beginnings of time across the board and in every society. We need to legalize some of the avenues for this exploration to take place. The drug war is making it more dangerous for these people  not safer....</description>
