"the reason this "war" on drugs is costing so much $$ and so many lives"
... i should stop posting and save the country from an economic depression.
Stop taking the internet so seriously and smoke something homegrown... or in your case go to your psychiatrist, claim some illness, and enjoy the world of government approved drugs.
Poor allislost. If the comment (and article) had been about buds instead of blow it'd be highest ranked. Certainly there's plenty of potheads in the engadget readership (and staff) but no one wants to stand up for the coke heads. Cocaine users and dealers are Communists; heroin users and dealers are Jews; meth users and dealers are Trade Unionists; Marijuana users and dealers are Catholics and you non drug users are Martin Niemöller.
I know this was meant to be ironic - but really the so-called "war on drugs" is such a gigantic waste of time and money, it's almost worse than the failed Iraq war. We are fighting windmills, like Don Quixote, only there is no withdrawal plan and no end in sight.
I am not into drugs so I abstain, but ask yourself, would you honestly spend even $1 to make drugs more expensive for drug users, make profits for various organized crime rings and the sleazy dealer on the corner, pay for high tech toys for the border patrol (?!)... and all that for.... I don't know what. Use coke if you like, as long as you are not harming anyone enjoy, and I certainly don't want to pay $1000s per year of my tax money to stop you from doing it.
I do not know a single person where I would say if they wanted to get some (insert drug name), they couldn't get it. Not a single one. Wa$$$te of my taxpayer money, no thanks. If people can't be trusted with some drugs, create a state monopoly and hand them out on a non-profit basis. Why? No mafia, that's why.
Who benefits from the war on drugs? Organized crime. Nobody else.

Exactly! Keep the coke out of our seas... and put it up my NOSE!
^ all is lost indeed...
What a waste of Tax Payers Dollars...

You're the reason this "war" on drugs is costing so much $$ and so many lives. Get a grip.
