The 9/11 Report says that on 9/11 the FBI had twice as much manpower devoted to fighting the War on Drugs than it did fighting the War on Terror. What does that tell you?
It tells me that our priorities are seriously out of whack and that our government is schiziphrenic. Of course, it didn't take that little detail to tell me that. I suspect the money to fight terrorism domestically is below any number of other pet government "programs."

That tells me our priorities are out of whack.
It tells me that we are spending way too much money on fighting War on Drugs, and that we should be investigating where that money is going. It also means that in all the years we have been spending that money, we haven't made one iota of difference in consumption or cost. It is still a lucrative black market and more and more dealers getting into it every day.
History of the Prohibition of Alcohol should have taught us something, but it obviously did not. We should be taking those dealers off the street, taking our children back from their influence, and letting the taxation and regulation do the job that cannot be done any other way. Legalize marijuana, tax it, show ID to buy it and the consumption will go way down.
Instead we drug the children of America with Ritlin and other drugs per schools and teachers who don't want to deal with normal children, drugs that are equal to morphine and cocaine. Our views are warped in USA on this issue.
