Recently, Larry Dighera posted:

[...] But society's rejection of drug users should
be based on their unacceptable behavior or incompetence, not the mere
use of a drug.

The difficulty is that unacceptable behavior is neither rigidly defined
nor equitably enforced, whether or not drugs are involved.


While that may be true currently, it is no excuse for failing to
address the issues you raise, unless, of course, the motivation is
other than to address the negative impact of drug use.

What would happen to DEA funding, DARE funding, military funding of
drug interdiction programs, prison operation contractor funding, ...,
if such a rational approach to the issue were instituted?

Follow the money.
