Common Sense and the Drug Problem

The “war on drugs” has gone on since the Nixon administration in the 1970s and continues today. The “war on terror” is an infant compared with the war on drugs. The drug war is the longest war the United States has ever fought and for sure the most expensive.

The irony is that the war is unwinnable and the side effects make it certain that the problem will continue to grow, with law enforcement making very little progress against it.
