I've almost finished "Chasing the Scream...." by Johann Hari, a real eye opener re our "war" on drugs.  The same guy who led the "war" on booze ( Prohibition) needed something to do when that flopped, so to justify his government job so he became the first "drug czar". Here we are some 80+ years later, no closer to "winning" than we were back then, worse off in fact.
