(Thanks Pistoleiro) We spend so many billions on this "war" per year, and the total reduction in drug use? 0. So, let's take the money and spend it on something worthwhile, and while we're at it, let's stop punishing people who are doing no harm to anyone. That'll still leave a few to have a war against, if we aren't too busy preventing homelessness or hunger or something else which is actually important.

It is reality that the money spend for drug war is all waste. But I thing we must be protecting children from drug related harm. The drug war is not the promoter of family values that some would have us believe. Children of inmates are at risk of educational failure, joblessness, addiction and delinquency.
We know that, four decades after President Nixon confirmed war on drugs, more Americans use them and drug-related aggression has gotten inferior. This is the first in an irregular sequence of intelligence by The Associated Press investigative why the drug war unsuccessful and why the U.S. and Mexico continue to fight a losing battle. The United States' war on drugs has cost $1 trillion and hundreds of thousands of lives, and for what? Drug use is uncontrolled and violence still more atrocious and extensive.
