Dumb Drug War

The semi-subs, known as "self-propelled semi-submersibles," also represent a serious national security threat: Today it's drugs, but tomorrow's cargo could be heavy weaponry, senior defense officials warn.


The above non-attributed quote was pulled from a Christian Science Monitor story about the use of vessels costing $2 million each to smuggle drugs into the USofA. Isn't it becoming really obvious that the drug war is a bust? People have used intoxicants since the dawn of humanity. I've even seen some theories that farming and the civilization it led to came about basically because people needed grain crops to make beer. I suppose after watching someone act up after downing a couple of 40 ouncers make you wonder about civilization, the fact is a lot of people are going to get high no matter what the government says. Many people take the legal route of booze but many also take the illegal route of certain drugs.

And can anyone really explain to me just how marijuana is so much worse than beer? I mean really, a bud is Bud, isn't it? Sure I don't want my doctor operating on me when high on coke or weed, but I wouldn't really be too happy if he drunk either.

So, now we all know that marijuana not only leads to hard drugs, but it can lead to nuclear weapons as well.
