Rrohibition always turns out well. The one thing you can depend on our government doing is repeating its own mistakes over and over. decriminalization of drugs would drive the crime rate so low, so fast that the prisons would have to shutter up and LEO's get laid off, we can't have that shite can we.

Here's an example of the futility of the war on drugs.

LINK

Highlights:

1. Eight-month investigation
2. Over 100 narcotics agents working the case
3. 7 people arrested, 1 house, 2 cars, and $68,000 seized.

This is not getting enough bang for your buck with the War on Drugs. Now we get to clothe, feed and house these people for however long they are sentenced for. Never mind that the local drug market inevitably rebounded and it's an act that harms no one but the idiots consenting to it.

No telling how much was spent paying 100 narcotics agents for 8 months. But thats the point of this. You have to understand that this is considered a success for the people that work in the war on drugs industrial complex. The purpose of the war on drugs is not to get rid of the drugs, it purpose is to provide contracts and jobs. It's crony capitalism at it's finest.
