After 50 years of the war on drugs, 'what good is it doing for us?'
&gt; &quot;The war on drugs was an absolute miscalculation of human behavior,&quot; said Kassandra Frederique, who heads the Drug Policy Alliance, a national group that advocates for total drug decriminalization.<p>For me it would be incredibly interesting to know how much it was a miscalculation or actually it was very well calculated.<p>The &quot;War on Drugs&quot; have failed to make USA safer, healthier or any other positive metric.<p>But, it has provided many with an excuse to pass restrictive laws, to win elections, to gain contracts with the government.<p>I am sure that many believed, even believe today in the &quot;War on Drugs&quot;. But, it would be very interesting to know the reasoning to start it. And how much the people that started it failed to understand human behavior, or it is just that their goals had nothing to do fight drugs problems.
