Jeff Sessions Determination To Continue Losing The War On Drugs

     Drug abuse and drug addiction are complicated problems that contribute to the destabilization of nations, the rise of powerful gangs that destroy neighborhoods and lives, corruption, a huge and destructive black market, and this is to say nothing of their impact on drug users, drug addicts and their families. The drug trade benefits criminals and terrorist organizations. Even the vice president of Venezuela and Hezbollah are in on the action.

      Thinking out of the box is complicated and therefore unappealing to many. It is easier to talk tough. Get ready for a new round of what has been tried and what has failed many times.

       Jeff Session is not the first tough talker, and he will not be the last. He will continue failed policies, hoping this time for a different result. He will also waste government money on expanding the dated Dare program that a number of studies concluded does not work.

       After a lot of money is wasted, the jails and prisons become fuller, gangs, criminals and terrorists become richer and more powerful, the fossilized war on drugs will not bring us to a better place than where we are now.
