I hear Jeff Sessions is going to rekindle the "drug war", or a war against the People. But why? Hasn't it been proven to be a waste of money and a complete failure? Could it be over a private prison system? I think so, maybe not solely, but I can argue that it plays a huge part. We, as citizens, should be up-in-arms over a private prison system, supported and invested in by the US government. Criminals are made by the executive branch using fear. It is done to seize power, make new laws, justify higher taxes and in this case increase profits. The prison's, or parts of, are publicly traded on the open market, meaning profit is ALL that matters. Ticker CXW and GEO are prison stocks that are up over 100% since the election. Look them up if you want, or read the article below.

Programmed to the masses:
The Drug War will provide safety, security and protection from the evil drug cartels. It will also stop possible terrorist from laundering money through a black market.
"With the rule of law we will protect you by bringing the wrong doers to justice!" Says the Tyrant.
The truth:
The Drug war makes money for privately owned prisons. It provides protections to FDA approved pharmaceuticals, to the tree industry, the synthetic fiber industry, it also gives protection to the alternative and fossil fuel industry. This is all done by eliminating competition. Less used today, it was used as a discredit against blacks and hippies.
I deeply feel sorry for people who believe the government outlawed drugs, or anything else, for their safety. We need to not be so naïve but instead we must critically think through a scenario. For example, children have no seat belts on busses, cigarettes are legal, abortion is legal, cyanide is legal, energy drinks are legal. Trump is deregulating a banking industry that gambles with your money. So why would they have outlawed cannabis for your saftey? They wouldn't.
Just think! How can a nation be trying to stop crime, if crime is needed in order for its wealthiest to pull a profit? How can you stop the very thing paying you? It is sad that the US people believe such a hypocrisy.
