The War on Drugs only serves to give law enforcement unlimited extra constitutional powers.

Even the bizarre murder of Central American fishermen is justified by someone somewhere having a dime bag or something.

Who needs trials , or evidence. Drugs are bad.

Government good.

Drugs bad.

i don't dispute that the "War on Drugs" was (is?) pretty much just a glorified jobs program for law enforcement but nevertheless some drugs are very bad. ironically enough alcohol, despite being the most readily available drug after caffeine, is probably the worst drug of all in terms of societal destruction.
