HAH! James you are too funny. You want to end the war on drugs? So lets just let the drug dealers and gangsters run our lives now. These people are evil and they need to be stopped. We need to escalate the war on drugs. We need more searches, more busts, more everyting. We should increase spending on the drug war! even if we have to raise taxes!!!!
