Finally a little sense is coming through: Jimmy Carter recommends stopping the ridiculous and counter-productive 'war on drugs.' See President Carter's NYT Opinion piece here. It's been 40 years since some crummy politician, Nixon, declared this self-serving policy. It's shocking that it has actually continued this long and destroyed so many lives. Back in the eighties Carter said that the punishment for doing drugs shouldn't be worse than the harm from actually doing the drugs, but then one of the worst U.S. presidents, Reagan, enacted, pursued and escalated one of the most costly failures in American history.
