End The War

...on drugs. From a cop, no less.

I've long believed that we need to legalize drugs to remove the criminal element from them. The War on Drugs has failed as miserably as Prohibition did. Prohibition supercharged the 'Mafia' much as the WoD has supercharged the gangs that were developing in the urban miasma of America.

Given the recent actions of the government and big pharma, my contention that legalization might bring the price down could be proven wrong. But the Repugs wont be in power forever (November 'o6, anyone?) Given a rational government (wouldnt that be a refreshing change?) and a rational policy, we mihgt get this under control. Maybe even before hell freezes over.
