1. The War on (some) Drugs is bullshit and has been lost from the start.

2. I believe "The War on Drugs" is in fact an Orwellian stealth program to wage war against

the privacy and freedom of the American People.

Non-violent drug addiction should be a medical and or education issue, not a criminal one and I see no logic in outlawing Marijuana use but many reasons against it.

It's no wonder this idea was conceived by the Reagen Administration, the same administration that did their best to turn journalism into a propaganda tool for the government.

In short I believe the "War on Drugs" was and is nothing but an instrument for an oppressive corporate loving government of which Bush is the latest and most severe manifestation of to slowly enslave by disenfranchising the very people of which they're supposed to be made of. I believe this is done so that only the rich and or powerful can serve in or participate in the democratic process.

In short I believe the never ending eternally restricting "War Against Drugs" is a national security threat in and of itself.
