Yay, War on Drugs is Over, er, uh...

US Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske is going to eliminate the War on Drugs! Actually, he's going to tone down the rhetoric surrounding the WOD. So, we've got that going for us, which isn't nice. This is the wane cycle of the eternal republicratic war on drugs wax and wane cycle. Republican administrations take it up a notch so their "base" of merry christian teetotalers can sleep at night knowing armed men and women are chasing, beating and jailing potheads then Democratic administrations de-emphasize the nonsense but never eliminate it because (?). Because it doesn't involve a new massive social program? Personal liberty isn't the top action item for either party ever so this will go on for a very long time the same way. Obama could have been the guy to set it straight but he's not playing so he owns this Obummer.
