America's Drug Wars

I Do Not Consider Myself Unique

The only drugs which I haven't been addicted to are the ones I haven't tried. I do not consider myself unique. Addicts, whether born with addictive genes or acquired addiction through use, have choices: 1) continue drug use or 2) admit their addiction and seek help. We cannot be "a little bit addicted," just like we cannot be "a little bit pregnant".

The War on Drugs will continue to be lost, not because the drug cartels are so clever at delivering what they sell or laundering their profits, but because so many of middle-management are raking it in hand-over-fist. As long as money is to be made and men and women are driven by greed, the Drug War is here to stay.
