Or, carry on wasting billions of dollars on something that has been proven ineffective?

Why not try spending that money on education? Why not treat addicts instead of put them in prison? Why not just fucking LOOK at the BILLIONS being pissed away and think "we lost, game over, time to try something else".

Same with piracy, except we haven't been wasting money on that for quite as long as we've been wasting money on the war on drugs.

If I told you that if you give me 50k a month I will make your sites 1 million, and after 40 years of doing this I have not once made you a million would you keep paying me? If so, where can I send the invoice?

"The Global Commission on Drug Policy reported that between 1998 and 2008, global use of opiates increased 34.5 percent, cocaine 27 percent, and cannabis 8.5 percent.

Carter said when he left the presidential office in 1980, 500,000 people were incarcerated in America. At the end of 2009, the number jumped to 2.3 million. If the number of people on probation and parole are included, the figure totals 7.2 million people, or more than 3 percent of all US adults."
