Team America Fuck YeaI love seeing those in power fail.

The United States’ war on drugs has failed and will continue to do so as long as it emphasizes law enforcement and neglects the problem of consumption, a Washington think tank says in a report co-chaired by a former president of Mexico.

Contrary to government claims, the use of heroin and cocaine in the U.S. has not declined significantly, the report says, and the use of methamphetamine is spreading. Falling street prices suggest that the supply of narcotics has not declined noticeably, and U.S. prevention and treatment programs are woefully underfunded, the study says.

“Current U.S. counter- narcotics policies are failing by most objective standards,” the report says. “The only long-run solution to the problem of illegal narcotics is to reduce the demand for drugs in the major consuming countries, including the United States.”

And yes there’s even better news.

The Taliban and other warlords could clear almost half a billion dollars from Afghanistan’s opium trade this year — money that will help finance insurgent attacks, the United Nations’ drug czar said.

Antonio Maria Costa, head of the U.N.’s Office on Drugs and Crime, said the Taliban also appears to be stockpiling the drug to manipulate its price, after several years in which production surpassed world demand.

Afghanistan produces over 90 percent of the world’s opium, the raw ingredient for making heroin.

Of course we could just legalize and tax drugs since people will always find a way to get fucked up. This would take the power out of the drug dealers and give it to the government. Then they could regulate it, sell it, and make enough money to pull us out of this looming depression.

But they won’t do it. Makes to much sense.

That’s why I love these reports. They get my dick hard.

Now if you’ll excuse me…I have to go take care of an issue that just popped up…

…be back in 5 seconds…

    We lose all these so-called ‘wars’. But I seriously doubt this country is ready to legalize pot or other drugs. The obvious tends to get overlooked in American culture.

    I agree. The government can take my money and give it to Wall Street but they won’t allow me to smoke a plant?

    Good thing I don’t listen to them….fucking pricks.
