Insightful posting over on Drug WarRant about pot arrests in the U.S. since the '70s:
Sure looks like you're winning to me, Mr. President. Obviously arrests are what matter, and the fact that availability has remained more or less unchanged is surely just a trivial matter of inflation or something similar. Nothing to worry about - drug situation is firmly under control.
There's also another conjecture in another post about how Drug Czar John Walters is really a drug lord that I found rather amusing.
