Hopefully this will be more effective than the war on drugs.

Hey, that’s not fair. The war on drugs was a boon for private prisons, police budgets, military contractors selling old war machines, lawyers, pharmaceutical companies, the show COPS, inequality, and countless murderous, racist cops looking to beat up some darker skinned people. It was very effective.
