"I'd rather we learn something from the war on drugs." What more do you need to learn. Drug addicts have, for the most part, been educated on the "dangers" of illegal drug use. The legal system fails and will continue to fail to stop illegal drug use when it does not represent the conscience of the American people. The education system and the legal system have spent 4 decades spinning their wheels. The war on drugs did not start at the beginning. Whether the typical American thinks getting stoned is acceptable or not is hardly even an issue. The typical American "accepts" it as a fact of life that their neighbors and kin are getting stoned. The typical American is not driven to personally stand against illegal drug use and sacrifice their very life, if need be, in the cause of this "war." The typical American does not even feel compelled to struggle toward a higher good than the status quo. If you can find such people, they are on the fringe of society's idealists. It is at this point a lost cause. The result is further deterioration of confidence in the justice system. What more do you think we can learn from this?
