Note to Drug Warriors

Close the DEA, and fold the BATF, and the IRS into it, for good measure; reduce the FDA to prosecuting false claims and fraud.

Since the laws making various psychoactive substances illegal were passed, the illicit drug trade has only grown, turning a minor problem that affected less that one precent of the nation's population into a trillion dollar industry affecting more than ten percent, and that's not counting the $$ spent on "enforcement," "justice," and encarceration.

Yeah, I know, like cancer, there are probably more people making a living on it than are dying of it, but so what? Does anybody expect that someday, the narcotraficantes will surrender? That the junkies will decide to come clean -- as a result of all this handomely paying drug war? And what will the preachers do when the Devil is saved?

Give me a break! You're an adult(?) and want to poison yourself recreationally? Knock yourself out -- literally. You want to sell that ~!@#$%^&* to my grandkids? I'll kill you myself!

Enough jive! It ain't working for those of us who don't sell it, use it, chase it, litigate it, or pretend to jail it (ex-cons tell me there's often "better" drugs in prison, than on the street.) Dump the whole stupid concept of pretending to "fight" the source of your new Mercedes. Go find an honest job!
