Now, they only take checks from the pharmaceutical companies...lol OOOOoohh...the irony.

My point wasn't off at all. You're correct, as far as big pharma goes. They like the War on Drugs too, but it doesn't negate my point. They like it because it stifles competition from other mind-altering substances, but government likes it even better because it's a great tool for keeping their eyes on our business and their boots on our throats.

The headline sounded misleading to me ... I just didn't trust what it was saying. So I looked up who these WORLD LEADERS were. Former politicians from Columbia, Mexico & Brazil.
Kinda sounds like the world leaders of DRUNKS AGAINST MAD MOTHERS saying that efforts against drunk driving are wrong.

your statement doesn't really make any sense and you obviously didn't take much time to look it up. this is one of the first links after you google war on drugs failed. and fyi paul volcker was chair of the fed reserve under carter and regan and was an economic advisor to obama, schltz was sec of state under regan, if you actually cared.

I think the war on drugs is a big wast of money and not even sure why we spend so much money and effort on the war against drugs. With that said I have no problem if the make some lagal but don't then turn arround and ask me to pay for peoples addiction to drugs.

FD, Im gonna be in your neck of the woods in Portsmouth for a Phish concert in a couple weeks, you should slide on through for the tailgate to check the progress of how your tax money been spent since the implementation of Reagan's era drug policy to stop the availability of drugs in your community. Im sure you wont have a problem scoring and at the sametime you can witness all the viciousness and violence these type of drugs incourage. Im sure you will agree the drugs im refering to should be decrimilized or lagal.
