The Obama administration is likely to deal with drugs as a matter of public health rather than criminal justice alone, with treatment's role growing relative to incarceration, Mr. Kerlikowske said.
Well, why not? We don't even wage war against enemies anymore; just "overseas contingency operations." Seriously though, the whole War On Drugs has been going on forever, and as far as I know, drugs aren't any harder to get today than they were back in the 1980s. Legalizing the growing, possession, and use, of marijuana would be a wonderful start. Its time to stop pretending that smoking dope will somehow all by itself ruin the life of anyone.
I wish I could remember who wrote it, but recently another blogger noticed that the last three presidents all smoked pot and look how they turned out.
See, I don't think BHO is wrong about everything.
