I hate the whole system that we live under at this time. If we spent half the money on healthcare/treatment for ill people to actually be well that we do on jails and law enforcement locking them up over and over, then maybe we could get somewhere. If we had access to jobs that paid a living wage then maybe selling dope wouldn't be such an attractive way to make money. The "war on drugs" is really just a war on the lower class and its highly misguided and not at all helpful. Our culture itself is highly dysfunctional in the way that it blatantly glorifies drugs and the drug culture while simultaneously trying to say "don't do that." A little common sense would go a long way towards improving the lives of Americans, but the people in charge must like it this way.
