Bob Barr on the “War on Drugs”
As always with Barr, better late than never:
As both a U.S. Attorney and Member of Congress, I defended drug prohibition. But it has become increasingly clear to me, after much study, that our current strategy has not worked and will not work.
…
It is obvious that, like Prohibition’s effort to eradicate alcohol usage, drug prohibition has not succeeded. Despite enormous law enforcement efforts — including the dedicated service of many thousands of professional men and women — the government has not halted drug use.
…
Whether we like it or not, tens of millions of Americans have used and will continue to use drugs.
