As an American citizen caught up in the WOD (6 grams of weed in my home got me 2 felonies and 2 misdemeanors!) Let me say this. The whole way we approach drug usage in America is wrong. Instead of working the supply, which makes lots of money for the state, lawyers, councilors and the system in general, what if we worked on the demand? Make rehab free for anyone with a drug OR ALCOHOL dependency. This in the long run would cost our country less and actually lead to results. Criminalizing possesion of drugs less dangerous than what you can get prescribed for an imaginary illnss or injury gets us nowhere. It is time this country got behind a war against the demand side of the drug epidemic.
The WOD gives tyrants power, they have no reason to want to stop it.
