Mission Bloody Unlikely

There's a pretty amazing article on Rolling Stone called How America Lost the War on Drugs, with a wealth of historical info about the US government's famously expensive waste of time. It's a really hard problem, but there are a number of what-were-they-thinking moments in there, like the crusade against medical marijuana being run while the rise of meth was ignored. I saw loads of meth users in downtown Vancouver when I lived there, and they were gaunt, horrible scarecrows, jittering and grinding their teeth. Don't do it kids - it's a horrible drug. Anyway, let's hope that the next bunch of puppets that land in the White House might stop making the same mistakes. Yeah right.
