War on drugs is insane

So how's this war on drugs going?

Someone described insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time. That's a perfect description of the war on drugs.

The United States is the largest illegal drug market in the world. Americans want their weed, crack, cocaine, heroin, whatever. And they're willing to pay big money to get it.

The drug suppliers are only too happy to oblige. The Mexican drug cartels now have operations in 230 American cities. That's 230 American cities!

And we're not just talking about border towns, but places such as Anchorage, Alaska; Boston, Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; and Billings, Montana. They're everywhere. And they don't just bring drugs, but violence and crime as well -- lots of it at no extra charge.

Even CNN is calling for an end to the drug wars. You may wonder why we spend so much time on this site with the War on Drugs. It's about freedom. We don't believe the government should imprison you for making a decision to try a drug which may cause you harm. That should be your decison and, if it is a stupid decision, you should be responsible for it. But if you cause no harm to anyone but yourself, you should not be arrested for being stupid. If you do cause harm to others, there are plenty of laws for those violations.
