yeah, you are correct...I expect nothing worthwhile to come out of the Obama administration...the rest of your post makes no sense...I think the war on drugs is a bust. It gave the government a way to take property without due process, allowed searches and wiretapping against Americans which hitherto had been illegal and it is a complete failure. I hope pot is decriminalized...I tend to be libertarian in that I am tired of the government running my life. I don’t smoke pot nor do I drink much ( a beer while watching a football game maybe).

The war against drugs would be a howling success if we simply followed Singapore's program.

"If you use or sell drugs the penalty is death.'

That would stop the scourge in its tracks and we could reduce the size of our massive police forces.

We'd probably lose a lot of politicians.
