The problem is that this boat was just a little dhow and yet was carrying $10 million in drugs.

Get rid of the "war on drugs", and a boat big enough to carry ten million dollars worth of the stuff would be the size of a medium-sized tanker. The navy's job would have to be easier.

In war it doesn't make much difference....prices on some commodities just go up.

Get rid of the 'war on drugs' and they'd give it an escort to your local schools

That's some pretty cheap hash, only $6 per gram.

But you'd be better off to simply legalize it all than to do what we're doing now. A hundred years ago there was no "war on drugs" and there were no drug problems worth worrying about. Doesn't the reason for that seem obvious?

A hundred years ago the world was different. Would you place your loved ones on a train, ship or airplane when you knew that there was no restrictions on the crew using drugs during the operation of that equipment? Or that members of the crew had frequent 'flashbacks' from the abuse of certain drugs they used?

Now lets change the scenario to smaller transportation vehicles, motorcycles, cars, light and heavy trucks. Would you allow your small children to play, walk alone or with someone who was infirmed on lawns or public sidewalks where common vehicles travel in close vicinity?

Alcohol, a common item in America is abused daily, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many innocent victims. You would add the free use of drugs amongst citizens to this hazard? Why, so I could be so stoned that crossing a street was exciting and extremely dangerous? Are you looking forward to being questioned and perhaps arrested by a LEO who doesn't know exactly what he's doing to you?

Just a small side question..have you ever seen the corpse of someone who was hit by a car going sixty, or a train going ten mph?
