damage [o our country would be even greater. And more effective prohibition is planed. Historians have documented America's experience with prohibition over the past two hundred years. The ebb and flow of prohibition and hysteria recurred in roughly thirty-year cycles: an uninformed or forgetful public becomes indifferent to the dangers of rising governmental excesses only to recoil a[ its devastating consequences." And what [his entails is also coincidental with the growth in bigger more intensive government in the United States The motive of the drug barons, and the deng warriors is to keep there good thing going. Both the barons and [he wamors profit in huge sums; the growth of their 'pension insurance' has reached such gazgan[uan proportions that US drug consumption is at a level where 5% of the worlds population uses 50% of the worlds drugs. This Waz on Some Drugs could not have a more disasvous result. Unfortunately for all Americans, [he 1997 National Drug ConUOI Strategy sets a demented cotrrse to continue The War on Some People Who Use Certain Drugs and its detrimental consequences.

The policy makers feel that the problem can be solved in short order if draconian measures are adopted. Present governmental policies embrace the extremes of border interdictions, warrant less searches, invasive blood and urine test ,the national Strategy rejects common sense approaches in favor of knee jerk solutions like building more jails and extending jail sentences . We can reduce drug use without compromising American ideals oNy if we abandon prohibition. The War on Some People Who Use Certain Dmgs has plagued Ameriq for more than seventy years. To turn that negative experience around will require perseverance and vigilance. Our nation can contain and decrease the damage wrought by The War on Some People Who Use Certain Drugs and its
