The War on Drugs has completely failed to alleviate the problem it supposedly set out to solve. It has only created more problems, fueling mass incarceration and violence at home and abroad. We have spent $1 trillion and continue to spend $100 billion annually on the failed drug war, and over half of our incarcerated population is in prison because of drug-related charges. It’s time to end the War on Drugs. marianne2024.com/issues/drug…

On what we spend our resources talks more about what we actually want to achieve than what we declare we want to achieve. Money spent on drug war, will generate war with all the consequences.

Failures on war of drugs couldn't have been otherwise. Why? Unchained or unregulated human rights and freedoms, will always encourage tactical trampling of rules guiding prescriptions of medical experts, against what drug addiction dictates to the abusers. Pity.

The War on Drugs was always about putting bodies in prisons.
