with them while they are infants? The article says nothing about a husband/father, either. Hope the kid doesn't end up in "the system."

This so called war on drugs has turned into a war on people. Breaking down peoples doors in the middle of the night,arresting the wrong people seizure of personal property without due process. The list of atrocities perpetrated against american citizens goes on and on.

This so called war has decimated our inner cities and and our black communities by removing black men from the family equation and throwing them in jail on what amounts to minor possessions charges where they spend sometimes years for the possession of a small amount of marijuana. It is way past time we take another look at how we deal with recreational drug users, locking them up is not the answer.
