31. I definitely agree that we should end the failed War on Drugs ...
but it will be difficult. Our country has a lot invested in this war and many people are involved in fighting it. Many politicians will seek political advantage by advocating continuing the war even though they realize that it is impossible to win.
Nixon started this war on June 17, 1971. Forty years later it has turned into an institution. The government is able to use it as a means to increase its power and control over the everyday life of all citizens. The War on Drugs has morphed into a War on Citizens.
