good subject and my two cents , the war on drugs is and never was meant to be won . there is too much money involved in keeping it illeagal . just think of all the crime invovled in the drug trade it would be gone thus less police less lawyers and judges prisons would have tumble weeds rolling thru them and we would have less government . the war on drugs is a premise to tax the civilians .
I wouldnt necessarily say there is a war on weed. from the little i remember of the "War on Drugs" was it targeted cocaine, which i have to say is a DANGEROUS addiction. Unfortunately now most prescription pain killers have some sort of cocaine or derivitive in them. So i dont think i would go as far as to say the war on drugs is just for taxation purposes. Heck most cops I know (which is quite a few) that have spent more than a month or two on the job aint gonna mess with takin somone to jail over less than felony amounts..
