All kidding aside, the drug war is a joke. We've spent billions, perhaps trillions, since it started, and it has gotten us nowhere. When is someone going to grow the b**ls to say the politically INcorrect thing - that prison for recreational drug users is a waste? Spending the money on rehab would be much better spent. The court system is clogged with drug arrests, and it's a deplorable use of the public's money.



In 1970, 322,000 adults and just under 100,000 juveniles were arrested on drug charges. In 2007 (the last year posted on the Bureau of Justice Statistics' website), 1,645,500 adults and just under 200,000 juveniles were arrested on drug charges. How's the war going???? rolleyes

Sorry to go off on a rant, but the whole "war on drugs" thing makes me crazy.


Alot of that money I'm sure is spent real cushy while hunting down all the villians out there
