I'm always concerned a bit about creative hypocrisy, because it's $49 billion of U.S. money on drugs that is acting as an engine drawing 60 percent of our own cocaine, marijuana, heroin coming through Mexico or adjoining Pacific or Caribbean waters.

Now, having said that, 6% of our Nation regularly uses drugs, about 12 million people. They are seven out of ten employed. They're in the workplace. They're not under a bridge someplace. They're working for you and me. And they're terrible employees. They cause a third of all industrial accidents. They cause just a disproportionate amount of work absenteeism.

The hypocrisy of Singapore's huge investments in Burma, one of the world's biggest exporters of illegal drugs, while shrugging off Australia's requests to commute Van Nguyen's sentence to life imprisonment cannot be ignored,

If you want to fight a war on drugs, sit down at your own kitchen table and talk to your own children.

one of South Florida's most vital natural resources, a relentlessly sane voice in a howling hurricane of hypocrisy, hokum and hype.

These are drugs that we know save lives and save money, and still we're only using them in less than half of the people who could benefit. It's especially striking that their rate of use isn't much higher in people most likely to gain ? that is, those with multiple clinical indications and risk factors.
