Unbelievable how unsuccessful our war on drugs is going! Not only has our drug containment policy failed but it has caused significant problems in countries where the drugs are grown. Until we address the biggest drug problem, alcohol with its special interest lobby, we will not be successful. All drugs are not the same and using one approach does not fit all. Until we try other approaches to assess which ones maybe a better alternative, we are stuck in this endless drug war.
