The Drug War is a festering wound that discredits blacks, the police, guns, and the American project itself. It finances mafias, government corruption, and terrorists. It destabilizes countries and regions, and drives immigration (e.g. more than half of US immigrants on the southern border come from the Northern Triangle). It is a hugely expensive waste of taxes. What's curious is how both the left and right avert their gaze from the issue. That avoidance itself deserves attention.

Having said that, I must acknowledge that Drug Prohibition, like Alcohol Prohibition before it, gives us lots of great movies and TV series.
