DEA Agent: We Were Told Not to Enforce Drug Laws in Rich White Areas

5. I remember upscale parties with lines of coke in the bathrooms

along with pills transferred by handshake with the host. Damned right, the rich do drugs and if they don't, they provide them for guests who do.

The local cops might just be our allies in the big cities. Most of them realize what a waste of money the drug war is, how it contributes to the difficulty of their jobs, and how impossible it will be to "win." If they start busting rich folks along with poor folks, we might just start to see a change.

People who go down the drug rabbit hole end up destroying their lives unless they can find a way to get clean. We know this. However, the destruction created by Prohibition II is far worse, lives destroyed with no way to leave the past behind since felony convictions and long prison sentences stay with them for the rest of their lives.

If we want to get serious about lowering street crime and property crime, crushing the violent gangs, increasing tax revenue, and lowering our shamefully high prison population, we need to get serious about ending their cause: drug prohibition.
