Drug War

Drug War
First we have to define "drug" don't we? Go ahead, read the article...

"Today we tolerate alcohol, even though it causes far more harm than illegal drugs, because we realize a ban would be futile, create more problems than it cured and deprive too many people of something they value."

No one likes hearing that and they usually tune it out. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you didn't even follow the link and read the whole article. But it's true. Would anyone drink bourbon or vodka or scotch solely for it's taste? Of course not! It's all about the effect of the drug, alcohol. And the war on drugs? We will win it when pigs fly. But in the meantime, it keeps a lot of people employed.
