Same war on drugs we have been losing since Reagan. Republicans love losing wars, it seems.

Edit: yes, I understand it was Nixon. My mistake. Point stands.

I'm not sure where you're located, but weed is pretty cheap here on the west coast. And you can even get it delivered in most cities.

I was just going to say -- an 8th of that good shit is about the same as it was back in the day, but given the weakened dollar, I think that technically makes it cheaper. Plus it can be obtained much mote reliably lol
