Beware... whether or not it is true, this allegation could make it "unpatriotic" to criticize the unconstitutional War on Drugs.

The issue is what is the proper prescription for the problem. Certainly the War on Drugs will not stop them from getting more money. That is the only reason that they got money from drugs. Everyone should see clearly that the way to cut off the money is to legalize drugs NOW.

Ahh and then what? tax it? And what about the extra tax dollars that non drug users will have to throw into hospital care of the extra millions of Americans that decide to do drugs. Don't get me wrong.. I'm all for legalizing drugs simply fromt he stand point it is hypocritcal for the United States to legalize Alcohol and Tobacco and not other drugs. The reasoning being is Alcohol is really the most dangerous drug out there in terms of overall dependency and fatality rates.. from DUI's to liver damage. Plus anyone will tell you that drugs users that end up in gutters are one's that choose to be there.. Look at coke for example.. millions of people function on coke in the upscale rich lives.. maybe not millions but you get the point none the less.. it'st he morons that OD or become dependent(this part can vary by drug.. heroin is a nasty nasty drug). In any case what has been made clear is that the war on drugs is profitable for the Alcohol and Tobacco industries. People would diversify their interests a bit more if other drugs were legal.
