TIME TO CEASE THE INEFFECTUAL WAR WITHOUT END ON DRUGS

Given that the evidence is clear that the current regime of drug 
prohibition isn't working, it can only be that ideology is overruling 
sense when we continue this absurd and costly war on drugs.

Climate change sceptics seem to fit the same criteria yet their 
motives seem less clear. Science told us that cigarettes are bad for 
us and we acted on that advice albeit after much resistance.

Could we please cut to the chase on these others issues and save 
ourselves a lot more grief ?
