    Amazing we never never learn from history as in the US prohibition era where the only results was funding criminal gangs an seeing an increase in drinking not a decrease of drinking by the population as a whole.

    War on drugs my rear end as I would love to see a showing that one repeat one drug user could not find his drugs due to the billions we are spending every year on the war on drugs.

    We need to end this so call war on drugs and handle the problem as a public health matter not a criminal one.

    Ending the almost unlimited flow of cash to the criminal elements of not only our nation but a large percent of the world nations driven by our drug users demands.
