The drug war is a complete failure and will continue to be a complete failure. It is time to stop the madness.

I'd say it was quite a success. LSD and MDMA off the street. 9 arrested for being intoxicated and disruptive, 1 DWI. Kudos to the APD for getting people off the street who were a danger to others! Wouldn't you agree?

So what you're saying is they arrested about 2% of the people who happened to be carrying drugs at the festival. I hope they're proud of themselves...

"however, most appear to be for Poss. Of Schedule VI (Marijuana) "
The bread and butter of the American Judicial system. Time to stop terrorizing the citizenry and reform the publicly funded LE/court/internment industries.
