WAR ON DRUGS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE

The Daily Star is starting to scare me in suggesting that making 
drugs legal should be on the table. This war on drugs makes strange 
bedfellows. Most Mexican drug kingpins and most American politicians 
feel that drugs should remain illegal. On American soil, the largest 
drug pushers are well-funded and have political clout in our nation's 
capital. These drug pushers are known as the pharmaceutical companies.

This war on drugs has been a nightmare for core American values such 
as the Bill of Rights. This war on drugs has militarized and 
corrupted law enforcement. This war on drugs cannot be won. If people 
want to hurt themselves, let them, but stop wasting taxpayers' money.
