"LibertyFirst" Told it right. Drugs aren't the problem. The problem is prohibition. Prohibition provides opportunity for criminal enterprise. It fills our jails, wastes our tax dollars, corrupts our law enforcement and judiciary, turns our police into theives and robbers, funds gangs and organized crime. Have we learned nothing from the failed experiment with alcohol prohibition? Now we buy our liquor at the liquor store. No violence there. End drug prohibition and we'll buy our drugs at the drug store.....and pay the taxes on the purchase.
