Can we say "De ja vous" all over again? Does anyone remember prohibition when the "do gooders" wanted to save us all from demon rum? Enter ATF's war against the mobs who really got started as a result of Prohibition. We seem to be a nation that never learns our lesson.
There are many reasons ( http://joethevoter.org/economy/15-stupidcongress/26-legalizepot.html ) that I believe, as do many in law enforcement and even judges, that we must decriminalize all recreational drugs and treat their use as a public health matter, not a criminal justice one.
Money aside, many have gone on record saying the "War on Drugs" causes far more damage than the drugs would. And yes, a "War on Drugs" is a war against American citizens...who gets raided and sent to prison? Our own citizens.
Congress has played dumb long enough...no excuses remain to a drastic alteration of these failed policies.
