CAGW on the drug war
Pete notes Citizen Against Government Waste isn’t a fan of the drug czar:
As the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), established in 1988 by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, approaches its eighteenth year of existence, it continues to demonstrate its inability to either achieve its core objectives or function efficiently.
…
The government also exhibits its obsession with containing marijuana use by continuing to throw unnecessary funding and unavailable resources towards tracking down and persecuting patients using medicinal marijuana in states that have legalized the substance for medical use only. Not only does this undermine federalism, it also proves that the government is incapable of exercising any kind of fiscal restraint.
Ayup.
