it failed because it was classist

the laws were mostly executed against lower income folks to punish their 'crimes', while higher income folks had the networks, know how, and attorneys to pretty much get slaps on the wrist or receive help for their 'addictions',,,

mostly

although I do wholeheartedly agree with those laws that have to do with operating potentially dangerous equipment or vehicles

use in private space though, is a mistake to criminalize,,,

I always thought the war on drugs was to make lawyers money. and yes, it was mainly poor that it focused on.
