Lynch said that channeling more money towards combating the drug problem, as has been the norm over the years, was not the solution. He called on the government to move away from tradition and shift its efforts towards other ways of dealing with the drug problem. The next few months are going to tell us whether this administration is going to break out from this paradigm of just more money and where do we spend it, he said.
The current generations think failure on this war is totally acceptable, so I would not predict a change in policy anytime soon. It will take a generation like the WWII generation to actually accomplish anything with regard to this, and I have not seen any sign of such a generation emerging.
The current generations think:
Government is the solution to all problems.
Ban everything we do not like.
