I expect to get beat about the head and shoulders for saying this but...
Imo, the war on drugs is utter and complete fail for the same reasons that the war on alcohol was.
The legalization of drugs comes from the same mindset and same period of our history as the legalization of alcohol and has had exactly the same effect. That effect has been to ramp up organized violent crime, compromise our courts and officers of same, as well as our LEOs.
Even those who aren’t caught up in the bribes and payoffs tend toward getting caught up in the seizures of private property for the profit of their organization.
That it all stems from the mindset of practical eugenics, that being that in order to have a perfect society, we must first perfect the persons that will be in that society, and all attempts at perfecting man are absolute and unqualified idiocy also has a part in my opinion.
The war on car theft is an utter and complete failure, as is the war on murder, the war on abortion, the war on gay rights, the war on rape, the war on exceeding the speed limit...
