The war on drugs has been an epic failure

Well, in one regard it has been a rousing success. That being how completely it has pissed on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights with a wholesale destruction of our fundamental liberties. It has done a great job of hastening the transition of this country from a republic to a fascist state. Asset forfeiture has turned this bogus war into a cash cow for state and local governments.

I don't know if there is even a "solution" to the drug problem, but I know it isn't the so called "war on drugs" which would be more aptly named the "war on liberty".

Out and out legalization isn't going to work. It will make things even worse. I do have some thoughts on what I believe is a better approach, but since they would never be put into practice, it's pointless to talk about them.

Why? Leaglization of the mind-altering addictive drug alcohol has proved to work much better than banning it.

I'd like to hear them. :)
