Boy did you take a wrong turn there too. Bush did not start the war on
drugs, and congress needs to stop it. Besides, if you go back you will
find the Kennedy name coming up back when pot became illegal, bet you
didn't know that Why do dems always blame Bush for everything, have
they no integerity at all, is winning more important, I guess so.

I didn't say "Bush". I was referring to the "big government" folks in
general who create bureacracies that take on a life of their own. We
have a war on drugs because the repeal on the 18th amendment was going
to put thousands of prohibition cops out of work so they needed to
prohibit something to keep their phony baloney jobs. There was more
than a little racism involved in the decision that pot be illegal.
Undocumented Mexicans smoked it and during the depression we were
looking for a way to run them off to save american jobs. The current
war on drugs was started by Nixon during our last losing military
adventure with a brief hiatus during the Carter and Ford
administrations but it has been going strong since Reagan. Some of the
worst constitutional abuses in this war started under Clinton.

Thank you for the clarification
