Reduction in drug use will not occur UNTIL there are really stiff penalties for users, and drug growing, manufacturing and selling is a capital crime in this country.

Right now there are no penalties except rehab and a short jail sentence for users.

Get used to that and worse, at least from a Drug Warrior's perspective. Failed big government programs like the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs are headed for the ash heap of history. We simply won't be able to afford such fool's errands.
