Stephen, people like you are the problem. Why? Because it shouldn't be President Obama's, or the government's, job to make the country clean and sober. It's the parents, the children, the individuals who should take this responsibility as their own. People like you look to the government to eradicate things you don't like, control things you feel should be controlled, etc. Whether they have no effect on your life doesn't seem to matter, you just want the government to take care of it. Well your DEA agents have done little to nothing, and the kids are still getting drugs, and the parents are still getting high. And the worst part is we've been paying a lot for this, and the results are dismal. I, for one, would rather have my tax dollars put to better use than fund a DEA sting of a growhouse somewhere in Northern California.
It's a lofty and impossible goal--getting EVERYONE CLEAN AND SOBER--and one that would be great for everyone. It's not realistic and never will be.
The government should NOT be responsible for overseeing individual actions if it's a victimless act. PERIOD.
