When was the last time you heard of a multimillionaire put on trial for drug trafficking? Generally, drug laws are enforced against the middle class, and the poor. This is especially true of the drug "lifer" laws.
Does anyone really think that George Washington(a daily opium user), or Thomas Jefferson(who grew acres of marijuanna), would be sentenced to life in prison if we caught them today?
Does everyone???? here really think/believe that we would have been better off if George Washington and Tom Jefferson had spent all of their lives in prison, and lost their homes, instead of starting the United States and becoming presidents?

Many of our Founding Fathers were a 4th amendments violation away from being imprisoned. Then due the times and circumstances, ended up loosing their homes and fortunes fighting for and financing what they believed in.

Another delicious irony: imagine an alternate universe where alcohol and tobacco hadn't been discovered yet. Do you have any doubt that the DEA would immedialy ban both as soon as someone started marketing them?
