Time to stop the insanity. You can't fight a "war on drugs." Drugs are inanimate. They can't and won't surrender. You can't shoot drugs and kill them. (you can shoot drugs, of course, in an entirely different sense, but that's unhealthy and not reccommended.)
All that the "drug war" accomplishes is the turning of our urban streets into war zones, the justification of a police state, the expansion of our private prison system, the ruin of young lives.
It's time to stop the insanity.
