The War on Drugs began as a political hoax created by Richard Nixon as an act of political theatre. It has caused more suffering and death than the drugs themselves could have ever caused. Shame on every president since who didn’t have the nerve to say so.

GUEST OPINION: The war on drugs failed. Lawmakers must find new solutions. - Sentinel Colorado

Spent decades worrying about cannabis being a gateway to hard drugs, when the war on drugs has been a gateway to a police state

Almost right. Not really. 1930s introduced laws restricting Marijuana after the alcohol prohibition failed. The term was coined by Nixon but it goes back 100 years.

What am I missing? Are you supporting free distribution of drugs in our society? You are too smart for that! Major import of heavy drugs comes from China, assisted by Chinese Communist Party and PLA. They turned drugs into WMD, killing 100k/y.

The war on drugs is dumb and pretty much amounts to authoritarian terrorism, but the drugs cause more deaths in a week than the "war" has since it was initiated.

The war on * preceded this and continues uncontested to this day. America is addicted to war and it’s economy depends on it. Of course you know this @marwilliamson but maybe not every one who follows you has seen “behind the curtain”
