The War on Drugs is really a war on our constitutionally guaranteed civil rights. Along with the 86 amnesty one of Regans' worst mistakes.
That is exactly what it is. That's why the Feds love their 'war on drugs'. It gives them virtually unlimited money and unlimited power. In the name of 'drugs' of course. And that always makes it OK.
'Drugs' are the Feds Emmanuel Goldstein. Drugs justify things they should never be able to get away with.
