The war on drugs

Sounds interesting, and not simply because I already agree with its premise. You can be sure if the government declares "War" on a nebulous concept (drugs, poverty, hunger, etc), we're in for wasted time and money and no real progress made on the issue at all.

I'm happy to see that decriminalization of marijuana is beginning to take a foothold in this country. I'm not a user anymore, so I don't have a dog in that hunt (aside from my tax dollars) but the idea of "reefer madness" is so archaic and outdated as to be laughable.

I think in my lifetime we may see minor drug offenses turn into something akin to a speeding ticket. I believe our society will be better for it.
