"Not to mention he bitch-slapped every president in the last 30 years" That part made me lol But seriously hopefully this will be some sort of wake up call to our leaders that their drug policies are beyond flawed... I highly doubt it will though.
Our leaders, for the most part, are fully aware of the failure that is the war on drugs. The only change we'll see is the removal of said leaders.
lol whenever the US government declares war on something domestic the "problem" if it is one only grows larger. Shit I guarantee you since the drug war has started that bud in the USA has gotten 20x danker..
True that, Nixon's punk ass was the beginning of all this. You should email the drug lord to let him know
Besides guys making BIG money the War provides beaucoup laymen's jobs, particularly in law enforcement. Another reason it won't end is because, quite simply, people are afraid of change.
It makes complete sense. Lobbyists profit from the drug war and politicians profit from lobbyists. A lot of South American countries are considering legalization and Biden went down there to convince them otherwise. By convince them I mean he went there to offer them money to keep fighting the pointless war.

Not sure if you guys were aware of this, but this "news" was from 2009... David Henry Sterry: Mexican Drug Lord Officially Thanks American Lawmakers for Keeping Drugs Illegal
