I think we should fight the war on drugs until we win. What do you say? A few more decades and and 2-3 trillion more? Or at least until the cartels and street gangs declare a truce and that they have enough assets and income, thank you very much.

The war on drugs is in a way a war on people making dumb self destructive decisions “for their own good”....

I would say you don’t need a war on drugs if people stopped feeding the drug users via federal programs and society shamed the usage of drugs instead of glorified them through movies and music and the media.

When we come tot he day when a parent steps over a passed out druggie inthe street and their child asks what is wrong with that man, instead of saying “society doesn’t care about him” instead the parent says “That is where people who use drugs end up at”... We will have evolved to a far better individualist and robust culture.

There are people out there who think the US would be nothing but a chaotic, murderous hellhole if drugs were legal. Don’t try to confuse them with the fact that 100 years ago all drugs were legal and we found a way to muddle through.
