I think that the general war on drugs is a waste of time, money and effort. I also think that it is undermining our Constitution, and corrupting law enforcement with the advent of the asset forfeiture laws. I do not believe that drugs are being sold to minors because of the war on drugs as you stated. Drugs are being sold to minors because of scumbag dealers, the destruction of our culture by liberals, gutless, useless parents and minors who are stupid and/or losers.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition disagrees with you. The war on drugs has increased, not decreased teen use of drugs.

LEAP:
The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy -- reducing crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug use -- have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy, fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs".
