Let's keep to the issue of the War on Drugs, since the study being referenced was by the Global Commission on Drug Policy. Though this commission has a member that was a former U.N. Secretary General, it looks like the writer of the original cite mistakenly stated the study was by the U.N.
The War on Drugs is a ridiculous waste of money and effort, and yet another way in which Big Government gains even more power and ability to confiscate money and assets. If we didn't flood our jails with people who have drug use issues, we wouldn't have to constantly be letting murderers and thieves and other dangerous criminals out of jail early.

Yet again, Ron Paul is absolutely right.
Exactly. Lock up those who actually represent a THREAT to mainstream society - not those who merely want to avoid it.
Interestingly enough being against the War on Drugs and wanting to legalize them has been one of people's criticisms of Ron Paul. However now the world has come to see that he's been right about so many issues INCLUDING the war on drugs......

A large part of our military, policing, homeland security, and intelligence agencies budget goes to the drug war.
If you want to keep spending 60,000 dollars a year to lock non violent offenders up who otherwise could be productive members of society, its your business.
Fundamentalist religions are opposed to free-market drugs because mind expanding, or mind numbing, drugs have the effect of causing an indifference to their authoritarian gods.
And, without authoritarian gods, mortal authoritarians would lose their authoritarian method of controlling others.
Republicans believe that there can be no such thing as a non-criminal person, without threat or exercise of punishment.
This is because Republicans are born with big amygdalas and small penises.
Americans spent 15 Billion dollars on bottled water in 2010
So what?
It's just another business.........
