The so-called "war on drugs" is nothing but tyranny. It has chewed up the lives of millions of Americans by incarcerating them and the felony convictions have rendered them permanent members of the underclass. Kids have lost their parents, families have lost their main breadwinners and become wards of the state, the predatory civil asset forfeiture violates steals money and property from Americans even if they are never charged or convicted which violates our Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments’ Due Process Clause:

The Fifth Amendment reads in part, “No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;”

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment applies a similar provision to states. “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;”

The "war on drugs" is really a war on Americans and they God-given rights and freedoms which the Constitution is supposed to defend.

Agreed. The loss of our freedoms far outweigh any benefits from the WOD.
