Which federal level politicians are in favor of ending the War On Drugs?

I know of Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.

Neither of them have any chance of getting nominated.

Can anyone name any others?

US notches world's highest incarceration rate
A report highlights extent to which many citizens have served time in prison.
By Gail Russell Chaddock | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
WASHINGTON – More than 5.6 million Americans are in prison or have served time there, according to a new report by the Justice Department released Sunday. That's 1 in 37 adults living in the United States, the highest incarceration level in the world.

It's the first time the US government has released estimates of the extent of imprisonment, and the report's statistics have broad implications for everything from state fiscal crises to how other nations view the American experience.

If current trends continue, it means that a black male in the United States would have about a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison during his lifetime. For a Hispanic male, it's 1 in 6; for a white male, 1 in 17.

The numbers come after many years of get-tough policies - and years when violent-crime rates have generally fallen. But to some observers, they point to broader failures in US society, particularly in regard to racial minorities and others who are economically disadvantaged.

"These new numbers are shocking enough, but what we don't see are the ripple effects of what they mean: For the generation of black children today, there's almost an inevitable aspect of going to prison," says Marc Mauer, assistant director of The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington. "We have the wealthiest society in human history, and we maintain the highest level of imprisonment. It's striking what that says about our approach to social problems and inequality."

And yet not a one can think of any more federal level politicians that favor ending the War On Drugs.

Is there anyone who still thinks the War On Drugs is going to end any time soon?

Any further federal level politicians who support ending the War On Drugs.

ever think of that

I get exactly the same reaction on right wing websites when I go there and challenge their orthodoxy.

As a matter of fact I'm having some very good discussions right now, take a look at this post and the subthread below it:

Come on, help me out here.. Somebody has to be supporting an end to the War On Drugs..

It would be a very good plank to run on, i believe you would bring out those people who say that government doesn't do anything for me, and there's a hell of a lot more of them than there are freaks who want to keep repressing people for their behavior.
