Dave,
The war on drugs is NOT a failure, it is an OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!!!!! It’s just that the objectives of the so-called “war on drugs” are other than the ones that are publically stated. To believe that the objectives are as stated, you would have to believe that nobody in govt. today is smart enough or wise enough to have taken a lesson from alchohol prohibition.
Here are some of the successes of the “war on drugs:”
1) dollars are exported abroad, which mitigates the effect of inflation on prices of goods and services
2) people, in the name of the war on drugs, have gone along with all manner of trashing of the Constitution and Bill of Rights
3) The incarceration rates are way way up, making lots of money for the private corporations that run prisons these days and lining the pockets of their investors, including judges and politicians
4) since the only sane thing to do regarding drugs is to license and tax distribution, but since that is illegal, local law enforcement licenses and taxes anyways but it is called corruption and bribery. The feds want corrupt local police forces, it gives them an excuse to barge in and take over.
I’m sure other listeners here could come up with another dozen or so “successes” from the “war on drugs”.
