The war on drugs is so silly as to be a joke of multi-billion dollar proportions. The recent Mexican-commandoes-turned-drug-czar guards is the most hillarious example. I'm not pro drug, but I am Anti-terrorist. I worry more about people bringing in bombs and white powder anthrax than people bringing in bongs and white powder nose candy.......the gov't should just forget the drugs and concentrate on the real bad guys......
Better yet, people should just quit smoking the stuff. That will save billions too, and free up law enforcement for other tasks.
We don't need legalized mj, there are enough pot heads walking around in a daze as it is, we don't need to encourage it.
"The war on drugs is so silly as to be a joke of multi-billion dollar proportions."
Except that it has had such horrible effects on our society. Thousands in prison needlessly, billions spent needlessly, and increased government powers including confiscation of private property. The police state aspects of "The War on Terror" would have been much less acceptable if Americans already hadn't been conditioned to similar excesses by "The War on Drugs". Nice to have wars that never end, and aren't winnable...think of the power that hands the government.
It needs to stop.
