The US Military is a security force offered by the US to Middle East leaders to protect oil resources and the financial and political power linkage between the US and the Arab Emirates. The US going after drug producers who finance the Taliban isn't the same as the US going after other producers of prohibited drugs and is not part of the "War on Drugs" policy. The US is simply trying to cut the Taliban's largest financial contributors and since their money is made from illegal drug sales, the US can "wage war" on them for both reasons.
While many may say that they see prohibition ending in the next few years, we've heard that many times over the past 50 years and it is my opinion that we will never see marijuana legalized, regulated, and taxed because there is just way, way too much money to be made by keeping it illegal. What is the most shameful about this entire pile of crap that our government has taken on us is that not only have they restricted our right to use God's wonderful Cannabis plant, they've also very stupidly kept the US out of the hemp market by lumping it in with marijuana. One of the most amazing plants given to mankind by God or by nature is made illegal by the US government. Why? You know the answer. Money. Money. Money. They make more by keeping it illegal. Period. Do you think they'll ever give that up? Hell no. The only way to change it is revolution, and America is to fat and complacent to ever make that happen.
