Drug War vigil

MSU’s chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, or MSU SSDP, held a candlelight vigil at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Capitol to protest prohibitionist drug policies and to remember those who have died because of them. MSU SSDP’s Founder and Public Relations Officer Jonathan Beagley, who is an MSU alumnus, and Haslett resident Robin Schneider, who is a member of the Michigan Moms United to End the War on Drugs campaign, discussed the regulation rather than prohibition of drugs in the nation and how the 40-year U.S. “war on drugs” has failed.
