A good example of the drug war's insanity was Operation Equinox. The operation, a six-month investigation of fraternities at the University, culminated in the raiding and automatic confiscation of three fraternity houses by law enforcement officers. The property was later returned, but it did remain in government hands for a while. While that six-month investigation proceeded, drug use proceeded as well, without ruining our University community. Large amounts of time and resources were dedicated for six months to investigate the activities of adults who produced no harm to anyone but themselves, while violent crime continued on the streets.
Drug use continues, unfortunately here, and elsewhere.
These are the results of Operation Equinox. The War on Drugs has become a war on common sense. You may not reproduce the contents of this paper in any shape or form without the express written consent of The Cavalier Daily .
