The Agitator, Radley Balko poses the following question for Senator Biden.
Senator Biden, you’ve been one of the Senate’s most ardent drug warriors. You helped create the office of “drug czarâ€; backed our failed eradication efforts in South America; encouraged the government to seize the assets of people merely suspected of drug crimes; pushed for the expanded use of racketeering and conspiracy laws against drug offenders; advocated the use of the military to fight the drug war; and sponsored a bill that holds venue owners and promoters criminally liable for drug use by people attending concerts and events.
Today, illicit drugs are as cheap and abundant as they were decades ago. Would you agree that the anti-drug policies you’ve championed have failed? If not, how have they succeeded?

A lot of cannabis users have a love affair with the Democrat Party. I’m a little perplexed why otherwise rational people would believe that the Democrat platform supports anthing other than the status quo in the American drug war. Democrats have long been supported by Police Unions. While the Republicans would just like to unappologetically run our lives, the Democrat love for the drug war is a little more sinister. In return for the Union endorsement Democrats provide police with extraordinary power through legistaltion and funding. The relationship should be called the Partnership for a Drug War America.
