DRUG WAR IS A WASTE OF TIME

Our counterproductive war on certain (politically selected) drugs continues 
because many people, industries and institutions have a vested financial 
interest in its continuation.

Until we can solve this problem, the war on drugs will continue to expand - 
and our rights as free citizens will continue to shrink.

Today our government is dictating which recreational drugs we may or may 
not use (Viagra is OK, marijuana is not). Tomorrow our government will 
perhaps dictate which foods we may or may not consume.

But they'll do this for our own good, of course.
