DRUG WAR IS A WASTE OF TIME
Our counterproductive war on certain (politically selected) drugs continues
because many people, industries and institutions have a vested financial
interest in its continuation.
Until we can solve this problem, the war on drugs will continue to expand -
and our rights as free citizens will continue to shrink.
Today our government is dictating which recreational drugs we may or may
not use (Viagra is OK, marijuana is not). Tomorrow our government will
perhaps dictate which foods we may or may not consume.
But they'll do this for our own good, of course.
