"Greenwashing the War on Drugs," Feature, 10/9

VIOLENCE ARISES FROM THE DRUG WAR

Over the decades of the drug war we have seen countless headlines 
reporting "drug-related" crimes of violence and drug-induced frenzy. 
What is not reported, and perhaps never even considered, is that the 
madness and violence being reported almost always arises not from a 
person too high to realize what they are doing, but rather from 
implementing the mechanisms of the drug war.
