The worst part is when they spend 6 months getting sober to be released to a half way house that takes 1/2 of their income to live in a shitty drug invested neighborhood.
Recovery rates are awful and its a revolving door.
The money we spend fighting drugs in this county is outrageous. You cannot argue that it has been successful in any way, except to fund the law enforcement, rehab and prison industrial complex.
I am a conservative. The war on drugs failed, just like alcohol prohibition failed. At least people 90 years ago were smarter than we are and reversed it. Freedom, small government and reason should be guiding principles.

In the early 90’s in a CO Federal District Court case about rescheduling mj evidence was admitted showing that before ANY drug control legislation whatsoever the addiction rate overall for the nation was 3% and that after decades of “control” and legislation and an actual declaration of war against the people of the nation, at the time of the trial the addiction rate was 3%. From 1903 to 1993 despite all efforts, less than 1/2 of 1% difference in addiction, and the difference cannot overcome sampling error.
The War on Drugs is the record holder for biggest waste of time and still running. Far surpasses the unending desert mooselimb conflicts even.

The rights exist, and the government merely chooses to explicitly recognize some. That doesn't mean the others don't exist. That's why the whole "unenumerated rights" thingy which is also in the Constitution.
Guns are protected by the second amendment to the US constitution. Drugs are not.
