Drug war: What prohibition costs us [Blowback]

Cost me my Mom,my dogs and cats,household goods 11 months and a chunk of change! Can't get my Mom back!

Drug prohibitionists like former White House drug czar staffer Kevin A. Sabet seem to be in a panic over Ken Burns' PBS documentary broadcast "Prohibition" because of its clear and convincing parallel to today's equally disastrous war on drugs. The earlier experiment lasted less than 14 years, but today’s failed prohibition was declared by President Nixon 40 years ago and has cost our country more than $1 trillion  in cash and much more in immeasurable social harm.  opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2011/10/drug-war-blowback.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
