The miserable war on drugs is the failure of the society to acknowledge that people have right to their own life and even thought we may not agree with their choices we must nevertheless support them to exercise their right.

Drugs destroy life ? They dont destroy it as much as spending 10 years in jail for having few gms of heroine.

The overall theme of politics these days is to create an "other" group and blame everything on that group. Demonise that group and take more power in hand to then hurt them to cover up the failures of the government doing basic things.

Muslims, illegal immigrants, Asians, China, Blacks, stoners, hippies, Rock musicians, top 1% etc.

Thus government gets to pretend that they are doing something for "us".
