There's been some pulling back from the war on drugs, and I hope it will continue, though I'm expecting a fairly slow and incomplete process. (Alcohol is only sold in state stores in Pennsylvania-- every now and then, there's a effort to open up the market, but I assume the state stores are a fairly powerful lobby.)
As for the war on drugs, I keep wondering whether organized crime is bribing politicians to keep it going, but I don't really know.
