The National Security Forum
Presents
Stephen H. Frye, M.D.
“The War on Drugs:
A Super-Colossal Failure”
Or How the Legalization of Drugs Will Enhance Our National Security Interests, Dramatically Reduce Drug Use, Lower Crime,
and Provide an Enormous Economic Boost.
With a commentary by
District Attorney Richard Gammick
The Siena Hotel Ballroom, 9am, Friday, July 23rd
Dr. Frye was an assistant professor at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. A practicing psychiatrist, he received his MD from George Washington University, did a residency at UCSF, and served two years in the Army with the 10th Special Forces. He is an outspoken advocate of drug legalization, which he believes will reduce our prison population, save us billions of dollars that are now going to Mexican cartels and leading to the possible destabilization of the Mexican government, bring down the number of teen gangs, and provide a major economic boost to the treasury.
Frye alleges that the “drug war, not drugs” kills people. He believes the drug war has caused a huge increase in teen gangs, our prison population, and furthers racial discrimination – “whites do the drugs (86%) and blacks do the time (75%).” He points out that our high school dropout rate is “six times higher than in the Netherlands where drugs are legally available, regulated, controlled and taxed.”
Washoe County District Attorney Dick Gammick, an avid foe of the legalization or even decriminalization of drugs, will provide a counter-viewpoint to Dr. Frye’s presentation. Dick Gammick has served as the DA for 18 years, generally recording the highest vote-win percentage of any candidate.
Please RSVP (acceptances only!) to this e-mail or by calling 746-3222. A full breakfast will be served ($15 for this event), so we recommend folks arrive by 8:30.
