You are probably right. But it's probably never going to happen.
Indeed this "war on drugs" will probably remain until there is a generational shift in power or if some pharmaceutical company saves the world by developing soma.
For those who don't know what soma is, it's a fictional non-addictive recreational drug without negative side effects first described by Aldous Huxley in his novel "Brave New World".

As demographics shift with public opinion and governments look for ways to both cut budgets and increase tax revenue, I view it as the inevitable future, pending the uncertain influence of embedded interests and other factors I might be unaware of.

- flyinRyan 14y agoIt's not about baby boomers. Corrupt people within the US government are making a large amount of money on this conflict and will work very hard to make sure that revenue stream doesn't close. Why do you think Mary-J was ever banned in the first place? It wasn't like there was a rash of husbands getting high and beating their wives, etc.
