WAR ON DRUGS: SUPPLY AND DEMAND STILL HIGH

Not only have our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost us more than a
trillion dollars, so has our war on drugs.

For more than 40 years we have been attempting to nullify the law of
supply and demand. The net results: Illegal drugs are just as
available today as they were 40 years ago. And in the process, we have
become the most incarcerated nation in the history of human
civilization. About one of every four prisoners in the world are now
locked in an American jail or prison.

Speaking of jails and prisons, illegal drugs are now inside every jail
and prison in the United States. If we cannot keep illegal drugs from
our jails and prisons, how can we reasonably expect to keep drugs from
any willing buyers? We cannot.
