Please end the Drug War.

What you need is peace and sanity, rather than war and insanity.

Peace and sanity have one major drawback: they serve criminal interests very poorly.

Dear Mr. President, this is to let you know that my family and I strongly endorse the

I really think the time has come to do something about this criminal prohibition which, by providing such an enormous cash flow for organized crime at all levels, is actually threatening your own democratic institutions.

It is certainly from your Country that a new turn in this thing must come, so I urge you to start doing something about it as soon as possible.

If you do, future generations will certainly remember you for this, more than anything else.

Yours sincerely

Marco Livraghi.
