The fact that illicit drug trade in prison cant be stopped ought to be a pretty big clue that you cant stop it.
What does history teach us? In the early 1800’s alcohol consumption per capita was extremely high. This caused many social/moral and personal problems. Divorce was high and marriage suffered. This began a LONG process ending in prohibition which was too far. But can you imagine how bad the alcoholism was that it led to prohibition?
Now you may snigger at the war on drugs, but imagine what it would be like if we hadn’t...........................
“In the early 1800s alcohol consumption per capita was extremely high.”
Yeah, that may have had something to do with the fact that we hadn’t invented modern water treatment methods yet, so alcohol was one of the few safe things to drink without poisoning yourself.
So the reduction in alcohol consumption may have more to do with the availability of safe drinking water than prohibition, which was a failure by all accounts.
Exactly - it was the voluntary social pressure of Temperance, not the too-far governmental Prohibition, that was needed and effective. The lesson for today is obvious.
“Ok, Cant stop it so lets just let it go..................”
You don’t have any other choice.
It’s going to happen.

Good point. But they probably don’t want to stop it. Dea is probably a lot worse. Basically this country is governed by secret police agencies operating under globalist direction.
