Well, not everyone agrees with the way it has been done, or the model of the "war on drugs." But the U.S. has failed stopping a lot of crime in that time, should the fight against all crime be given up?

The same time the term "war on drugs" started, the "war on cancer" was also coined by Nixon. That wasn't a success either.

‘War on x’ has always failed. It’s taken, I think, from the concept that total war can totally defeat something. It can’t, especially when it comes to criminal and destructive human nature.

There is a solution to the drug problem. Singapore has it. Very low use rates and violations. It’ll end up having to be done here when the non-weed users get sick of the weed users.

The NY Rockefeller Drug laws which became the Federal Controlled Substances Act resulted in incarceration nation or monetizing and institutionalizing misery.

The refrain is similar to the communists. Despite insane incarceration rates and drug addicts, we just need another chance to do it the right way.
