My earliest political memory begins by seeing Nancy Regan on TV in a room full of school children saing "Just Say 'No' to drugs! That in my mind marks the beginning of the war on drugs in the 1980's, officially however the war on drugs began in 1969 under the Nixon Admistration, so thats a grand total of 40 years to this date. Who would have ever suspected that the war on drugs would last FOURTY YEARS??
So how much progress has been made in this 40 year war, which has resulted in the largest incarceration of human beings in the history of mankind, not to mention the body count (no one really knows the true number of millions). Are we winning or losing, have we made any notable achievements? Take a look at the link below for a birds eye view of how far we have come, and how far we have to go. Think about it.
