Here's an interesting stat. In 1992, there were 1,066,400 "Drug Law Arrests" according to the FBI. In 1999, the figure was 1,532,200.

Recall from my prior post that there was an almost 50% increase in the number of heroin addicts between 1992 and 1999. This, despite a nearly 50% increase in drug law arrests.

Just goes to show how effective the war on some drugs isn’t... IF that’s the point of it... If, on the other hand, its function is to destroy our Constitution and our Republic, then it is, in fact, a RAGING success.
