This is why it isn’t a WAR on drugs.
If you read in Rolling Stone about members of a band making IEDs and plotting terror attacks, you can bet your ass half the alphabet in government agencies would be all over their ass.
Notorious drug users, those mentioned in interview articles, hell on the local radio station 2 DJs were saying they are CURRENTLY abusing opioids - never have a simple stake out to catch them. If this was a WAR no one would dare utter they did drugs. There wouldn’t be tobacco pipes at my gas station.
It is a GAME of drugs, and WAR on civil liberties.
