That Other War - Reason Magazine.

I’m reminded of the stories we were told as kids about citizens in the Soviet Union living in fear of their own government, only replace “dissidents” with “drug suspects” in the narrative.  We shouldn’t confuse anecdotes, such as those in this article, with data.  But the data also suggests the drug war is at best a monumental waste of money spent by the government trying to control the behavior of its citizens.
