Two ways to end the drug war -
1. Like China and Saudi Arabia impose death for simple possession of drugs. I'm betting less Americans will buy drugs if they are dead.
2. Like Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Denmark you can decriminalise drugs so they can be bought and sold in small quantities plus carried legally.
Continuing to do anything else, as America has for what? 50 years now? Is only madness since it obviously has not worked.
Check out the economy and crime rates in the above countries and compare them to America.
Then again, 1/3rd of the America economy today is centred around the drug war - either in policing, incarcerating, or administrative costs.
If the drug war did end tomorrow, many, many Americans would be out of work.
