US waves white flag in disastrous 'war on drugs'

Hugh O'Shaughnessy from The Independent claims the United States is executing a slow retreat from the War on Drugs:
After 40 years of defeat and failure, America's "war on drugs" is being buried in the same fashion as it was born – amid bloodshed, confusion, corruption and scandal. US agents are being pulled from South America; Washington is putting its narcotics policy under review, and a newly confident region is no longer prepared to swallow its fatal Prohibition error.

    Hey, I have an idea! Let's test all legislators by mandatory, and random hair samples. I bet we have some "common sense" changes in our laws immediately. Until then they will snub their noses with their policy bs!
