First why would one say it's over? Because of the sentencing guideline change to balance the disparity between coke and crack?
And if it's over the winner is clearly...AB.

The local level war on drugs continues, my major concern has been the global war. The drugs that are imported from other countries that the feds don't seem to mind. Why can we grow a watermelon without seeds, but we can't genetically change the crops from which cocaine and other major narcotics are grown. How hard would it be for unmarked planes to spray the fields with radiation, poisons or something.

Succinctly, the war on drugs. There's just not enough data. Posession is illegal. And planes don't grow on trees either. You'd have to give the farmer a reasonable alternative, and even then people would still find a way to get high. Give it up and move on I say.

I say give the drugs to whomever wants them!
let them waste away they wont have to work just give them drugs a cardboard box and a place on the river. keep them all in one place so we know where they are. the churches could whip up some gruel to serve them 3 times a day.
We also need cameras to pipe into all the schools the live shots of people that are on drugs. this would be the best teaching tool for our kids. It would eliminate drug use and reduce the population of misfits that needs to be killed anyway.

I 'm sure people will find away, synthetic drugs and so on. But the stongest counrty on the planet with companies like Monsanto and thier spin offs, can ruin the number one and two narcotics in the worlds, hereion and cocaine. I bet they have already but no politian is interested cause the payoffs are good.

14 yr olds should not want for drugs, and no one should be offering them to them.

Most drug users are started by some family member offering to minors then the chain goes on. How do blame a 14 yr old for an adult who breaks the law.

If someone wanted to ruin your life they can force a hereion injection in your arm and you would never be the same again. It happens!

If a child of 14 can be tried for murder then I have no sympathy for him.

but if a child is injected with a drug by an adult then that adult should get the death pentenlty within a year 3 appels then death.

Please leave punishments out of this, these things go unpunished because they are never reported, or at least by the time it is reported the kid is addicted and in the system.
100% of kids who use marijuana get from adults, I don't know any kids who grow or import it.

You need to see the bigger picture here, drugs kill and destory innocent lives, one day it could be your because of a drug related incident. Much of this can be prevented by the methods I said... unless we fear the Columbians & the mexicans

There will always be drugs, and there will always be people who abuse them or use them for recreation. However there are people who would be better off on drugs. What about our current president????????

I was sure this was going to be about the prescription drug market in the United States. Drug companies are getting new drugs accepted by the FDA and before you know it they are being recalled. Some of those new drugs are being manufactured overseas and they have little or no quality control, like the drugs coming out of China that had drywall dust used as filler.

I think the govy should make, market and control a set of drugs that have a variety of hi's and min to no side effects. The have done the regulation with liquor and the black market is no longer an issue. They make money off of it licenses and let the public get stupid and behave stupid and then make more money of it when they catch the stupid. They dont care about health or safety or addiction or family issues that rise out of alcohol usage, so why fight a war because some prefer a different hi?

AMERICA GETS HIGH, qoute from a drug movie called new jack city, 1989. But guess what he still went to jail, just like real life drug dealers. I will never attempt to justify illegal narcotics. Columbians house more american money than they can ever spend in a 4 life times. The gains americans get will never equal the farmers of these crops.

Yep, the drug was is over.

Just yesterday I saw a cop and showed him I had some pot, and he told me "can't arrest you for that, anymore, in spite of the danger and horrible consequences from it's use, as documented in the scientifically accurate educational film called 'Reefer Madness'".

Somebody should tell employers, because about 80% are still requiring you to take the pot test - er, excuse me, I mean the drug test - to get employment. I kept telling them the drug war is over, but they hadn't gotten the message yet.

And I'm not sure, but I think the federal government is about to take the BILLION$ they spend fighting this holy moral war and put it to something more useful, like free digital TV boxes or MP3 players for all!

I agree with suetonius - the winner was AB. Way more young people these days are drinking themselves to death, but MY GOODNESS that's sure better than getting high and having the munchies or wanting to hear music played faster!

Besides, with the war on drugs over now, people may start to notice all the things that harm them more than drug users, such as inept Presidents, illegal wars based on lies, arrogant big rig drivers, legal prescription drug companies, large corporate polluters.

I mean, with drugs out of the way as a distraction from the real problems caused by the philosophy of the extreme right, the truth may suddenly be exposed!

You say "drugs kill and destory innocent lives" but I've never had a personal experience with that, in spite of how many people I have known who smoke the Evil Weed! My, it was popular in its da

...day, but hmmmmm - I can't recall any deaths or tragedies.

But I can think of LOTS of young people killed by the incompetence and arrogance of truck drivers, speeding state police, the war in Iraq, dangerous prescription medications, etc.

I don't know if the drug war is over or not, but it should be: it's time to declare it lost and move on to something more important to worry about.

I know about troops in Afghanistan who located large poppy fields where they were about to start harvesting opium. Their Lieutenant called in to see if an air strike was in order and was told that that fields belonged to a war-lord who was friendly to US forces and to leave the area without damaging anything. The official stance was that most Afghan opium went to Europe, not the U.S.

Is that fact? Weird?
That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. I am impressed at all the facts you know about all this, and always find you so interesting. Thanks for all your import.
