Shhhhh
You’ll rile up the jack boot lickers and drug warrior types. They are incapable of learning that prohibition is never the answer.

How many billions have been spent on the war on drugs? Has the war on drugs stopped drug use? How did booze prohibition turn out?

It's not going to stop folks. The money would be better spent on drug treatment. Attack the behavior. Until demand is reduced, there will be no progress.

Alcohol is the deadliest drug on the planet. Alcohol has been responsible for more deaths than all other drugs combined. How bout making alcohol illegal once again? Yea, right. It's perfectly ok for millions to go out on a Friday/Saturday night and catch a buzz....or hammered on the most widely distributed drug, ALCOHOL.

It's so damn hypocritical lawmakers spend a hard day legislating, pat themselves on the back at the end of the day and promptly tootle on down to the local drug flop house...called the pub to knock back a few scotch and sodas.

I don't have the answer and I'm not sure what the right answer is. Legalization? Decriminalization? I dunno. What I know for certain is it's not OK to talk about killing druggies when many of those same folks partake in an equally harmful drug...alcohol.
