Via The Metropolis Times this bit from The Drug Policy Alliance:



The "War on Drugs" is without a doubt the largest initiative to create crime that the US has embarked upon. I'll reiterate: When considering gun control or immigration reform remember well the War on Drugs. When you legislate something to be illegal you create both immediate crime (the possession or existence of the drug/gun/illegal alien him/itself) and residual crime; the marketplace born of the initial law (gun/drug trade and human smuggling.) Both feed quite effectively upon each other and consequentially grow very quickly beyond the means of policing.
