Now a very strange point is that contrary to belief most homeless don't use drugs. Being *forced* as I am to live in a shleter, I can say that from about 80 people only about 15 are drug users; the rest don't have the will nor the interest to use them. And homeless people are not precisely millionares... How come then so much money is spent on drugs and the drug war? There must be lots of people using drugs, and to have money you have to be working. It drug use per se generates crime, we would all be living in a grossly violent society, in an almost civil war state... And we aren't. That means lots of people live normal lives using drugs and nobody says nothing. That's why it is so difficult to win the drug war, if at all. And they keep out of the streets without having real effects, at least not more than for instance drinking cofee has. Therefore the need of GENERATING SIDE-EFFECTS to upkeep the ban, even when that means you just need to *accuse* somebody of drug use to destroy that person's reputation and life.
