Across the US last year 40% of the murders, almost 60% of the rapes and about half of the aggravated assaults went unsolved! The cumulative effect of this is horrendous. While we police individual recreational and medicinal use of drugs; murderers and violent sexual predators roam free. Law Enforcement keeping the focus on marijuana despite the rise in violent crime is policy bordering on insanity or madness.
"Confronting violence begins in our schools," suggests Texans for peace. “There is a link between pharmaceutical psychotropic drugs and violence including school violence!
Congressional Control of Health Care is Dangerous for Children. "With universal mental health screening being implemented in schools, pharmaceutical companies stand to increase their customer base even more, and many parents are rightfully concerned. Opponents of one such program, called Teen Screen, claim it wrongly diagnoses children as much as 84% of the time, often incorrectly labeling them, resulting in the assigning of medications that can be very damaging. While we are still waiting evidence that there are benefits to mental health screening programs, evidence that these drugs actually cause violent psychotic episodes is mounting."
U.S. police arrested an estimated 829,625 individuals for making a safer choice (marijuana violations) in 2006, according to the latest FBI annual Uniform Crime Report. That total, the highest ever recorded for marijuana violations, made up 44 percent of all drug arrests.
According to the nonprofit, nonpartisan and vocal advocates for citizen rights Texans for public justice, the impact on society from the children orphaned and displaced by this senseless policy is a crying shame. |
