In what universe did they lose the war on drugs? Marijuana never got rescheduled. People still get their lives ruined over it. It's impossible to consume cannabis and be gainfully employed at the same time in the US and a sickening majority of people STILL believe this is how things should be. Corporations collude together to make sure they're all using the exact same drug testing procedures so that really valuable people can't just decide to go somewhere that treats them better. Yet they do nothing to fight with or systematically harm people who consume alcohol when off duty or come into work hungover.
All the states with lower costs of living are still allowed to put people in jail for possession. And people fight to keep it this way. They made Florida ballot initiatives need a 60% to pass just to defeat the recent marijuana amendment and NO ONE FUCKING CARED. This is far from "losing" the war on drugs.
The drugs are still here. More than never before. Doesn't matter if the war is still raging. They aren't going away.
I guess I'm going to have to tell all the people at my company and my friends' workplaces that they can't be gainfully employed while they use weed as their primary or (increasingly often) only intoxicant.
