True, but both (R) and (D) seem addicted to this worthless and counterproductive 'war on drugs'. At least some (D)'s support legalization of marijuana. Perhaps the dumbest thing on earth is spending so much money (and man-hours of police work) on jail/prison space for non-violent MJ offenders.
Drugs used to be legal, and that took the profit from the dealers hands. They were cheap, and low-class, and they weren't a scourge of society that caused gang wars and incredible expense.
