WAR ON DRUGS A WASTE OF MONEY

My side hurts from laughing. I just read your piece by David N.
Goodman, where he quotes the White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske:
"These latest data confirm that we must redouble our efforts to
implement a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to preventing and
treating drug use."

I thought I was reading "The Onion."

Ha, ha, Kerlikowske. These "teens" you are referring to smoking pot
grew up watching U.S. TV, where every other commercial is for drugs.
See, it works like this: "Problem? take our pill." Another sad example
of wasted money and why Americans pay more than anyone else on the
planet for prescriptions.

Unlike Kerlikowske, I see there is one reason, and one reason only, to
continue the U.S. war on drugs: Keep the price up. Remember the
example of CIA involvement with Oliver North, selling cocaine to
finance the Contra affair? The U.S. government knows what is
happening; George H.W. Bush was head of the CIA, after all.

You see, the CIA needs the price of drugs to stay "high" so they can
raise money for projects they cannot get funded through Congress. Go
