Prohibition was a rather short lived experiment; how did thins policy become so firmly entrenched?

Mainly H.J Anslingler.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_J._Anslinger

He successfully lobbied to have most drugs classified as class 4 which labels them with "no medical value" and therefore no tests can be performed. Basically, he successfully got his opinion made law, and then found a loophole to prevent debate.

Lately, Canada and Europe medical research had found a lot of U.S drug policy to be completely false. But due to the fact that our own governement has successfully kept pot a Class 4 drug, it becomes extremely hard to have a legitamate debate.

Our current surgeon gernely, Sanjay Gupta, recently acknowledged that pot has medical benefits, but refuses to remove the class 4 status preventing broad scientific experiments.

I will type that again, our current governement health leader acknowledges pot has medical value, but refuses to remove it from class 4 and into another class.

Our government admits its own policy is wrong, but refuses to make any changes.

I want to know what every president learns between election and innaugeration. Obama admitted to smoking and doesn't believe in our current laws, until he finally got elected and met with the DEA. What did they say to him that made him refuse to discuss our current drug war.

Our government basically "locks away the truth" yet uses public funds to sponser D.A.R.E which makes claims that even our own surgeon general admitted to be false. Something is really wrong.
