The War on (some) Drugs is so friggin' stupid! We'd be better off just doing what we can to make drug production a respectable and not so dangerous trade.

- ryanwaggoner 17y agoI don't necessarily disagree, but we already don't have a war on a long list of drugs, from caffeine to nicotine to alcohol to pharmaceuticals. You seem to feel that this list is inadequate, but that legalization of all drugs isn't the answer either, so I'd be interested to know which drugs we should no longer war against, and what the criteria is.
- roc 17y agoEven the ones that we shouldn't condone, shouldn't be opposed as we currently fight the 'war' on drugs. The war is wrongheaded and self-defeating, regardless of which currently-illegal drugs might be safely and productively legalized.
- grsxfcyt 17y agoWe could just change it every year. The increase in police will help boost the economy. At each state of the union address the pres could announce that this year Jolt and Ibuprofen are banned and you would have 24hours to consume it all before the police raids start.
- randallsquared 17y agoI think you read "War on (some) Drugs" to mean that he felt a war on other drugs was acceptable. Instead, this is meant as a way to point out the ridiculousness of the name "War on Drugs": that it isn't "drugs" we're against, but only certain unapproved drugs.
