War on drugs is over. What's next? SAN ANTONIO, Texas (CNN) -- As the health care debate captivated America, a white flag was quietly raised along the violence-torn U.S.-Mexico border. In case you missed it, it was our nation's surrender in the war on drugs. Addressing the sixth annual Border Security Conference in El Paso, Texas, on Monday, the director of the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, R. Gil Kerlikowske, said this administration's drug strategy will not be a war because a war limits what can be done. Rating: 5

I agree. This is the bigger issue. Its none of the governments business what you want to do to your own body. There certainly nothing in the constitution or the bill of rights that gives them this authority.
