After three decades of fueling the US War on Drugs with over half a trillion tax dollars and increasingly punitive policies, the court system is choked with ever-increasing prosecutions of nonviolent drug violations. Drugs are now more potent, more available, and often cost less than they did 30 years ago. A system of regulation and control is more effective than one of prohibition.
