The WoD has proven to be as costly a failure as Prohibition was.
Legalize marijuana. Let a government-authorized monopoly sell it (like the LCBO in Ontario) and jack up the taxes on it. At least recoup some of the costs of the WoD.

Never. Let the people grow it. Keep the government out of it.

They should be receiving reparations from the drug warriors. Every congressman, state legislator, police department, prosecutor and prison employee that made money from the War on Drugs should be assessed for damages to drug users that have had any contact with the criminal justice system (or civil forfeiture)as a result of the WOD.
