The war on drugs bonanza has been a great boon[doggle] for a whole host of mental health "professionals" law enforcement "professionals" university researchers, professional prohibitionists, second rate attorneys, and most of all the drug cartels whose power and wealth have been augmented by this government created and government enforced near monopoly on private supply.

I mean look at the attempt to keep the whole thing going here - "epigenome," "future generations", "studies only now beginning"

The bonanza has been good for a lot of folks who would otherwise have to find gainful employment, sort of like the post cold war CIA, that could never figure out how to stop fighting commies and deal with present dangers - funny how the Rooskies are back on the radar screen.

It's Western Civilization's version of a cargo cult.

Very good viewpoint....but drugs dont add much to ones life...a little short term but mentally debilitating pain relief and or euphoria..but long term effects are tooooo much personally and societally. Drug use does expose our human condition (needs, desires, mental disorders)
