"police officers pulled over a black pickup truck with Sonoran license plates because the white trailer it was pulling had no lights"

Proof positive drugs make you stupid and ruin your brain.

As far as our 40 year war on drugs, it has made the criminal class richer and more violent. It has cost we taxpayers billions in government spending to very little good effect.

I used to be all for the WOD, but I've come around to thinking we should go back to having no laws against drug use, possession and sales. Just tax it like we do cookies, laundry soap and gasoline. Sure, some weaklings among us will get strung out, become useless and later need medical treatment, but the cost will likely be much less than the present WOD. Meanwhile, the criminal class will have to go back to robbery, white collar crime and union organizing. Mexico can go back to growing corn and Afghanistan can grow cotton.

Legalize all drugs in the U.S. and the criminal class will come here in droves to get into the export business, illegally smuggling our cheap and legal drugs to countries where their use remains illegal.

That should make us real popular worldwide, especially with countries (and religions) which hate drugs.
