Yet not so much as a PEEP about trying to get people to stop using illegal drugs in this country!

Have you been living in a cave? We spend billions every year trying to do just that. We gave cabinet level priority to the drug czar in 1989 with the creation of the ONDCP.

What have we got to show for it? How about zip, nada and nothing.

Realistically, the last time I heard a President actually speak out against drug use was Ronald Reagan.

Bush #1 - a few quick mentions

Clinton - nothing

Bush #2 - a brief mention about efforts at the boarder

Zero - nothing

The last time I remember any President saying directly to the American people, “hey you dumb-asses, your "hobby" is the cause of all this, why don't you stop this nonsense” was Reagan.

And in NONE of the discussions about our gun laws being the cause did I hear ANYBODY stand up and say, "no it isn't, it is our buying the dam garbage that provides the dollars."
