Their present success rates don't mean diddly-squat. Militarize the borders and then start keeping score.

Domestic production should be handled in a smilar manner. Someone busted trying to produce major quantities forfeits their life. Period. Military trial. Military execution.

Problem solved.

I don't think even turning our country into a military state will solve the problem, but I don't want to see our country turned into a military state in the first place.....thank god your idea has as little hope as happening as the idea of totally legalizing all drugs has....

Hail the Police State! Want to eliminate a neighbor? Sneak a couple kilos of mary jane into their garage then call the cops from a pay phone. Next stop for them: electric chair. That was difficult to do when the only thing that could earn someone the death penalty was to murder; framing a person was complex and had more to go wrong and blow up in one's face. With your enhanced War on Drugs it will be very easy.

Easing or eliminating restrictions on substances will do the same thing that ending Prohibition did. I.e. more people partook, but the average consumed strength of the substance (in this case alcohol) went down. During Prohibition, few bootleggers bothered with beer, and not much more bothered with wine. We heard of bathtub gin but not of bathtub sherry. Ending Prohibition brought per-consumer hard liquor consumption down (way down). This is cold hard history; it is not an acid dream.
