The costs of the drug war are absolutely staggering when you think about it. Interdiction requires boats, manpower, radar, cars trucks, dogs and more. Druggies commit most of the crimes committed in our country today. How do you calculate the cost of additional law enforcement just to deal with drug-related crime?

All this before you begin treating the individuals themselves and the havoc wreaked on their families.

Well, if all that junk science about smoking and second hand smoke were really really true........why is it still a legal commodity, after hundreds of years? Where's the logic in THAT?
