Maybe not popular here, but the idea that we’re going to so tighten our borders that drugs won’t make it in seems improbable to me.

I think Nancy Reagan was right all along.

Drugs killed the British Empire. Read Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories to see how drugs had permeated throughout British society in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including Sherlock Holmes himself. The British never forced the Chinese to consume their own opium. The British fought the Opium Wars for access to China's opium, which they were addicted to.
