The next logical step for the US government to take is to brand all Californian marijuana users 'terrorists'.

Oh yeah, and I just recently saw the most ridiculous report on the BBC. It claimed that the 'silver lining' of the current food crisis is that now Afghan farmers are finding it more profitable to produce wheat, and are thus growing grain - not poppies.

It's as if fighting drugs was a value in itself.

The U.S. Government and Wall Street have been involved in the Drug Trade for decades. Drug money is an important part of our banking system. Drug Laws only protect the market and are a form of price fixing.

Excellent point. It is also the "drug war" that directly drives corruption and undermines governance abroad, even as it leads to urban stagnancy, crime, high imprisonment and to the SWAT militarization of our police at home.
