The whole idea of “a war on drugs” is insane on its face. It’s not a war, it’s an epidemic. Treating it as a war makes plenty of money for the very rich, and of course, keeps “the base” happy. And does nothing to fix the real problems. Treating it as an epidemic would be at least a different approach, and it seems to me that it would stand a good chance of working. Too bad.
