Then explain our continued War on Drugs, the embattled controversies on medical marijuana, and our soaring incarceration records. The fight against pot has probably weakened in the last 30 years, but it's by no means over. Not by a long shot. |
#1 I never said it was over, exactly who are you arguing with? I had assumed it was me since you responed to me.
#2 What makes you think it is religion that backs the war against drugs? Sure, they are one of the factions. A second faction would be authoritarians that think that rules solve everything. A third faction would be the drug dealers themselves, they are not hurt when their buyers are caught, they already have the cash, and they can sell that much pruduct again. A forth faction would be politicians that want to get re-elected on the basis of pretending to protect the people. It does not matter if he protects nobody, many people vote by precieved intention not results.
