Cutting War on Drugs Programs for Katrina Would Have Blowback

by Chris Abraham on 21/10/2005 ·

Don’t forget that the federal money spent on ineffective drug control programs is actually pork barrelling. Cutting any of it will piss off a lot of Senators and Congressmen. Via J-Walk and Drug Policy.


“The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) found that, out of all the drug control programs it reviewed, not one was found effective. By cutting just a few of the many ineffective, inefficient and harmful War on Drugs programs, the federal government can save $22 billion over ten years, which could be transferred to hurricane relief funds.”
