Ping!
Stop worrying about roaches as the house burns.
You said it far better than I ever could.
Hm, this isn't going to make the druggie types very happy.
As for Dubya's hand in this push, well, god love him but man he can be a dumb ass sometimes. Heaven forbid he worry about our open borders and the muslims amongst us. Nope, best we tune the War on Drugs. Here's an idea George: Let mom and dad deal with little johnny's stinky shoe box and you get on with kickin Islamic and/or Illegal Immigrant ass.
YEAH DAMNIT! We cannot walk & chew gum at the same friggin time! Geez.
"WarOnDrugs"
It's pre-electioneering/posturing Dupe-Relationz razzmatazz. Law Enforcement folks will [if you go to TX/AZ/NM/CA/OR/WA, erm, ALL BORDER STATES] explain/show you the problem areas, and complain that there is NO REAL FUNDING to curb/halt/eliminate the problem...WoD is major PORK BARREL it is not doing ANYTHING to help LEO's on the street. The Pharmaceutical Industry does not really want the cross-border Drug Smugling to stop...Think about that, ask yourself why I make that statement, ask some Policeperson you know.
{hint, Emergency Room Pharm P R O F I T}
Weed is twice as strong as it used to be? I haven't smoked a doobie since 1972, but I think I'm gonna try it again!
Well said...
Instead of re-instating "Reefer Madness", turn that hyper-critical gaze to our borders.
Big Government to the rescue!!!Quick...Come and save us from ourselves!
God forbid some evil bastard should get away with sparkin' up a spliff and polishing off a bag of Doritos in his own home.
Finally the Feds are poised to get tougher. Spend as much of our tax $$$$ as it takes. Do something about this!!

What do you think he has, tunnel vision. He is our President of these United States ( not the dumb ass that you say he is, very disrespectful I must say, shame on you), and has to deal with every problem, I can't even imagine waking up every morning to his load.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to spend a lot of money going after something that's really not as bad as, say, a lifetime of heavy drinking. People make choices, it's probably a better investment to try and teach them to make good ones then it is to try and change someone's way of life ten years later.

No, it's much better to spend huge amounts of time and resources trying to make sure people don't 'ruin their lives'. Problems like illegal immigration and terrorism are just sideshow distractions to the real problem: People getting a buzz and NOT doing it with booze!
It's a cry for more funding.
"Look how bad we say this problem is. We need more money now!!!"
OOOOH, WOW!!!!
Make it stop MAKE IT STOP.
