The War on Some Drugs is a metastatic cancer that has corrupted all the South- and Central-American countries and Mexico, and it's doing it here.

But let's keep doing what we've been doing, since it's working so well.

The War on Drugs is indeed a failure.

But in the alternative, what would you suggest?

Decriminalizing/legalizing drugs is not a good plan. It will lead to more mayhem in the streets and absolute “no-go” zones. It will look like those silly “futureistic” movies like “Freejack”

If they’d come here, they could have had free legal representation and an interpreter with possibly free room and board for a few years before being sent back home.

Making the elite rich, growing government, growing the prison industry and contracts in exchange for political favors, making certain branches of government wash in off book income, sprouting fear everywhere in the Citizenry, getting the people used to control and obedience, growing violence and death, trapping people in misery and addiction and eroding the Constitution?

Yeah. Why change something when it's working as intended.
When it's not broke, don't fix it.
