The Drug War

GinAndTacos takes on Bill Bennett's attack on the push to end the drug war.

GIN And Tacos - Bill Bennett Rolls the dice, wins an FJM treatment

There really is no reason to continue the war on drugs, it has failed. I see three main reasons we continue. We don't want to admit we chose the wrong course and effectively wasted billions of dollars and half a century, the powerful religious groups who see drugs as an evil, and the entrenched institutions, the police, drug task forces, DEA, the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries, that could lose billions if drugs were decriminalized.
