RE: How the War on Drugs is Fundamentally Flawed
I agree the "War on Drugs" is a sham. I think it's dishonest, hurting our country, and at best ineffective. Clear proof that politicians care more for their jobs and their power than they do for us or our country's future.
While I have heard a couple of valid defenses to one or two of the points made above, overall the War on Drugs is a very easy and necessary target for criticism.
It has a proven failed track-record nearing half a century (some would argue that the track record is a lot longer) and they are no nearer to "winning" the War on Drugs than they were in 1971.
It is my opinion that if enough people wake up to their reality we could possibly see some atrophy in the war effort by as early as 2021.
However the damage is done. Entire generations have been sullied thanks to this farcical war - and its continued legitimacy, if not also existence, cannot continue to be suffered. For that to happen - more awareness shall be required (and more refined and accurate information - hyperbole's short-term "benefits" entail payback in the long-term).
Thank you kindly for the up-vote and comment @cryptastic. :c)
