What Would It Take to “Win” the Drug War?
- kleer001 8y agoSorry, but what a tired and boring argument. It's not incorrect though, just tired. It's not a "war" it's prohibition, and prohibition never works for thing people will DIE for. From what I understand the war on drugs was started by Nixon because he hated hippies (among other reasons).

- clarkmoody 8y agoConclusion from the article: I say: Let’s just legalize drugs, which would, in one fell swoop, eradicate drug gangs and drug cartels, along with the necessity for DEA agents and federal prosecutors and federal judges whose jobs depend on the drug war. It would also keep drug use and drug abuse in the private sector, including rehabilitation, where they belong.
