I’m not sure you can point the blame in just one direction. You see it in any form of radicalisation, once you go too far away from the middle, you start to see others as “the enemy“. I do think that in the terms of the War on Drugs it’s more of a “you support a trillion dollar criminal enterprise” type them vs the rest of society rather than a left vs right issue. If changing political regimes can’t even keep drugs out of prisons, and you see more and more devastation to society and more and more money in the hands of organised crime, then there really isn’t a way around legalisation that isn’t sticking your head in the ground. I get that there is a lot of money, and therefore political incentive, to keep spending money on the parts of organised society that combat drugs, but at some point you gotta ask yourself how much money you want to burn on an enterprise that has never once succeeded in its mission, even if you’re the most tough on crime person out there.
