Problems With the "Drug War"

The Drug War has been a fiasco.
A failure.
An argument can well be made that the major problem with drugs is the drug war itself, and its destruction of lives, and freedoms, and its corruption.
It hasn't failed because enough money hasn't been spent on it.
Billions have been spent to incarcerate pot smokers and other drug users.
Countless homes have been invaded by hordes of policemen looking for evidence of drug use.
Americans must prove they are not drug users to gain employment, so much for the presumption of innocence.
Barrack Obama used cocaine.
Bill Clinton smoked Pot.
George Bush said he couldn't remember if he used cocaine or not, which means he used cocaine.
One of the things they have in common is none of them had to surrender thier personal liberties as a result.
None of their lives were ruined as a result of their usage.
William F. Buckley, the founder and editor of the National Review, as well as a prolific writer, smoked pot and called for its legalization.
Bill Buckley was a conservative who believed in individual liberties, and keeping the government out of our private lives.
The drug war is the modern day witch hunt.
Prohibition has always failed.
The only tangible result from prohibition is the enrichment of criminals.
In view of the immeasurable harm caused by the so-called drug war, a new direction is needed.
A direction that calls for more personal responsiblity and less government control.

I do not comprehend how any conservative could say that heavily armed police have the right to kick down a citizen's door, invade her home, and drag him off to prison in chains because he or she may be smoking a marijuana cigarette.
