[QUOTE="soberups, post: 852734, member: 14668"] I have a [I]personal and intimate involvement [/I]in the so-called "war on drugs". Over the last 20 yrs I have been an enemy soldier, a casualty, a stretcher-bearer, a chaplain, a civilian non-combatant [I]and[/I] a war-widower. I have lost family and friends. I nearly died myself. It is not some abstract thing that I look at from behind a desk in some Federal office building. I can state with absolute certainty that the "war on drugs" is causing far more damage to our society as a whole than the drugs themselves are. It is a classic example of a cure that kills more people than the disease it is trying to eradicate. The war is a failure. It was already lost before we even decided to start "fighting" it, and the casualties will[I] continue[/I] piling up until we quit trying to fight a war that we cannot win and start looking for a [I]better[/I] way to deal with the [I]medical issue[/I] of chemical dependency.
