FT speaks: War on Drugs unwinnable

I missed this editorial last week. While it doesn't break any new ground in terms of the talking points, I find it notable that it originally appeared in the Financial Times. When the money mongers start paying attention, how far off can sensible drug policy be? I especially liked their closing statement.

The war on drugs has simply shown that drugs and the drugs markets cannot be wiped out. It is time to look at more realistic and less ambitious alternatives.

Makes sense to me.
