Obama says the war on drugs is failing, and he's right. Trafficking ruins far more lives than those of addicts. One mistake pro-drug war advocates make is thinking that when someone says we need to end the war on drugs, we're saying we love drugs and we want them to be more available so we can all get high more often. Wrong. We need to end the war on drugs because it's misguided and has created a covert industry that exploits children; further impoverishes millions while making a few, very sinister people very rich; and leads to unregulated substances that can kill a person instantly.

But if none of that convinces you, maybe this song will.
