DRUG POLICY HIGH ON PROHIBITION

So, Brian Watters has called for drug testing of drug policy makers. Surely 
it is their (and his) intelligence in this field that needs scrutiny.

To me, drug policy seems to be high on prohibition, punishment, revenue 
collection and political opportunism, but low on expert research and 
constructive humane management, free from such hysterical public stunts.

Less rod, more reason please, Major.
