Our prisons are half-filled with drug users and traffickers. Police spend more than half their time dealing with drug offenses; the DEA, all of its time. And there are more illegal drugs in America than ever. If anything, the war on drugs has been a resounding success, if they would just declare a war on the economy (or haven't they already) all our troubles would soon be over.
