Most Americans want the war on drugs over and the bloated dod budget to be reduced. The politicians can't fucking listen.
Also the Drug war may be a farce in some sense if you look at the Iran contra affair. Look at the facts, look at drug usage, come up with your own conclusions about the drug war, cause at least part of it was financed by the government itself to create a larger drug issue, by actually supplying dealers with the drugs to distribute... then arrest the normal street person using the drugs that the government sold to pushers. Seems like an illogical cycle of stupid shit = US government.
Col. North's handwritten notebooks and memoranda show that North and other U.S. officials were repeatedly informed that the Contras' ties to trafficking of drugs from Latin America into the United States and that airplanes from the U.S. used to supply arms to the Contras were being flown back with Contras personnel aboard carrying cocaine into the United States.[54][55] The matter was further examined in the 1997 report of the US Department of Justice Inspector General, where the main question under investigation was whether CIA was instrumental in creating the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles, and where evidence was presented of patronizing by CIA of drug trafficking to Los Angeles, California.[56] The report however stated that the allegations were "exaggerated".
