Should the U.S. Continue its War on Drugs?
Ever since President Richard Nixon declared war on drugs in 1971, we've heard much talk about America's drug-prevention initiatives. Each year, billions of dollars are spent on keeping illegal substances out -- and reducing drug use nationwide. However, some argue the battle is ineffective or perhaps even counter-productive. Is this effort worth continuing, or is it time to search for alternatives?








Fight the war wisely
Take an economics class...Please
Um... Just pay the farmers more than the going rate??? That is Funny! How many farmers do you think will be growing illicit drugs as the prices spiral forever upwards? That would be a real transfer of wealth.
