You are a nudnick, bub. Such legalization did work, and just as society had learned to handle heroin, the evangelists of temperance, fire and brimstone -=- enflamed the popular imagination and passed extreme bans on alchohol and "drugs" in the second decade of last century. Fortunately some far-sighted preservationists of the Constitution and rule of law got a Prohbition Amendment for alcohol, otherwise the Constitution would have been complete dust by the time Hitler rose to power. Yet they left the equally abominable federal anti drug laws -- federal bans beyond the charter of the Constitution, a rogue abuse of power.

And it occurs to me that these popular enflamers of harsh judgements were the same ilk as America-Firsters and good damning of the evil Jews. "Thank you Mr. Hitler." they might have said.

That IS the camp you have wandered into. Now what do you do?

Oy oy oy. Such clever words all in the service of legalizing known poisons such as heroin, cocaine and crack. Poisons that intelligent cultures reject, condemn and make illegal. There is no long, ingrained history of using such poisons in Western civilization. Such poisonous crud is native to the 3rd world; is cultivated and processed there. There is a long honorable history of alcohol use in our Western society back to the Bible and beyond. And a history of tobacco and coffee use. There is no long history of marijuana, heroin, cocaine, opium use.

United States legalizing drugs? This is a chapter from the libertarian book of loserology. On how to make your nation a loser nation. You need a check up from the neck up bubala!
