"LEGALISE IT..."

Truth to tell, the drug warrior police, politicians, officials, media and
civilians don't list victory as an objective in their expensive and
oppressive trillion dollar war.

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

The politicians also rely on the drug war to sustain their constituent
industries and institutions that depend on the economics of prohibition in
order to make generous profits and campaign contributions that keep the
drug warrior politicians in power and, therefore, keep themselves in business.

Maybe the corrupt politicians and media are required to adhere to the party
line of prohibition because law enforcement, customs, the prison and
military industrial complex, the drug testing industry, the "drug
treatment" industry, the INS, the CIA, the FBI, the DEA, the politicians
themselves et al. can't live without the budget justification, not to
mention the invisible profits, bribery, corruption and forfeiture benefits
that prohibition affords them.

The drug war also promotes, justifies and perpetuates racist enforcement
policies and is diminishing many freedoms and liberties that are supposed
to be inalienable according to the constitution and bill of rights.
