Ian does all the hard work, so just go read his excellent recap about drugs and why there is only one answer in the drug "war." Legalization, in some form or another, is going to happen. It's simply a matter of time. No matter how entrenched the Drug War MIC establishment, eventually it's going to be so ugly, corrupt and not effectual that taxpayers around the world will say, "enough." I think I'll begin to see it in this country in my lifetime; kids today really don't care about that Great Evil in the same way as folks my age and older have been brainwashed to be.
I just had a conversation with a friend, and I reminded him: it's always a good time to advocate sensible drug policy/legalization. Always. That is, as far as that political battle goes, our side is always going to lose. Pushing for drug legalization is a guaranteed no-go, as far as causes are concerned. Until that day that it is not.
That day is coming. There are so many social, cultural, economic, environmental, and security reasons to legalize, and the only reason we don't is because the people making money off of drugs don't want to share. That can and will change, because especially in the business of the drug trade, no one cabal can ride that tiger forever.

Too many people make too much money
too many jobs, too many contracts, too many cop-shops, too many prisons, too mant councilors, too many testing companies...ALL depend on the WOD for it to go away...
The Prison-Guards are the most powerful union in CAL
They'd oppose legalization--in fact, I beleive they're already on record as to the fact--because ending the WOD would reduce the number of guards needed to supervise prisons, and would remove a valuable source of secondary income, for 'em in the transportation and distribution of contraband inside.
Why Yes, Yes I Do Believe They're Pigs
Why do you ask?
