THEY DON'T WANT TO WIN DRUG WAR

Re God will never support pot use (letter, Oct. 25). Nothing is worse than
drunkenness. Tommy Chong said it best when asked about God and cannabis:
"God was the first stoner," Chong said. "That's why he's the most high."

Truth to tell, the American drug warrior politicians, officials, media and
civilians (secretly) don't list victory as an objective in their expensive
and oppressive trillion-dollar war. When they do spout their "zero
tolerance/total victory" rhetoric, how many of your readers actually
believe them?

How many actually believe that this year's multi-billion-dollar drug war
budget will be the one that will achieve total victory after decades of
billion-dollar budgets have totally failed?

Just remember that the drug czars' and warriors' jobs depend on the
perpetual prosecution of, but never a victory in, the drug war.

Also, remember that the politicians depend on the drug war and its rhetoric
to scare up votes (by scaring voters).
