Drug War "abject failure"
(Click and look for video on right)
So says San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.
So full steam ahead toward legalization, right? Not really .
"End this war on drugs. Now, that is an attack ad by any politician, what I just said, they would be desperate to find that tape of what I just said," Newsom said.
The mayor insisted, however, that he wasn't calling for the legalization of all drugs - just a recognition that the current approach isn't working.
"I'm not saying (legalization). I'm saying get real about it," he explained.

Drug addiction is a spiritual and medical problem. That's all it ever was.
Newsom is completely right.
I think when Nixon set up the DEA in 1973 and passed legislation to kick off the "drug war" it was not part of some greater noble good, but aimed instead at shutting up the hippies and providing the rioting black people with something they never had before, something to hide.
So, I think the whole drug war was a sham to do an end around the first amendment. It was just return fire at the civil rights movement.
So, when the anchor wrapped up his segment with the DEA opinion that the drug war was, to the contrary, going well due to an observed spike in street price, all I heard was:
"we asked some pigs at a trough what they thought and they said, "oink.""
